Title text: There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.
Transcript
[Changelog for version 10.17 of a piece of software.]
One change listed: “The CPU no longer overheats when you hold down the spacebar”
Comments: LongtimeUser4 writes: This update broke my workflow! My control key is hard to reach, so I hold spacebar instead, and I configured Emacs to interpret a rapid temperature rise as “control”.
Admin writes: That’s horrifying.
LongtimeUser4 writes: Look, my setup works for me. Just add an option to reenable spacebar heating.
Every change breaks someone’s workflow.
This is it exactly. Was a product manager and this is exactly the issue I faced with devs that had no real world usage experience.
People often forget the value in field verifying and it drives me insane.
