    I hate those bug trackers and forums. Like you have a problem that is quite difficult to explain. Then, after some time you finally stumbled upon a thread where someone else has the exact same issue… but there is NO solution and the thread was locked due to inactivty.

    WHY!?

      7 days is the cutoff where it goes from being a bug to being a feature

        I recall reading an article about version numbers, and it mentioned an interesting example of some app where the version number is essentially pi. Each update just adds another digit to the version, so eventually it’s going to get really long. When the developer dies, all the remaining bugs in the software will officially become undocumented features.
