Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 5 months ago

More like source available, since you can’t use the code in your stuff without the permission of the company 🤓

[–] Buffman@lemmy.world 145 points 5 months ago

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 104 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That screams: Open you source code and accepted correction !

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It screams made-up internet story.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 8 points 5 months ago

It screams both!

Let the patch be part of the code for one or two minor releases. Then revert the changes of the patch.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Why would they do that? Talk about generating mistrust.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It may not be malice. Incompetence.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They are going to “accidentally” remove a fix?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 16 points 5 months ago (8 children)

By not understanding how version control works. I've worked at places that had a surprising number of developers who would just merge things in ways that drop code from other developers.

Calm down, Satan

[–] Hootz@lemmy.ca 49 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Always love this one, I'd do the same but there's to many fucking things to fix.

[–] petersr@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Sounds like you should find a new product to use.

[–] Hootz@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 months ago (11 children)

I would but due to capitalism there's not much of a choice in products.

I hate when companies just eat an entire industry.

It seems like I'm constantly finding bugs in businesses' apps. Do they not have people test them?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 60 points 5 months ago (7 children)

They do, and they have a backlog of hundreds of issues to fix and they must prioritise then. If fixing a bug doesn't make money, it's not priority.

[–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

I deal with this every day. It hurts me to my core.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I hate how they'll spend 4 years squashing all the bugs.........and then they cancel the software, and release a new buggy version.

sure they do, you're one of them

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 32 points 5 months ago

As someone in the dev team for a "business app", we probably know about most or all of them, but they're just not important enough for anyone in management to prioritize them as part of a sprint. It's also possible no one has given us reproducible steps to make them happen, so we just straight up don't know what to fix. Usually the former though.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

they test them...

Whether they do anything with that testing is another story,.

I would fix that bug but the complete rewrite that management has had me working on for the past two years will make it obsolete anyway.

Reminds me of when my breaks started failing on my 1990 Chrysler LeBaron so I got a job at a break repair place long enough to fix them then I quit.

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 34 points 5 months ago (4 children)

brakes

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think "breaks" is appropriate if you own a Chrysler.

Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

Thems the brakes

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago (2 children)

those bits on a car are called "brakes". When a brake breaks, it's a broken brake and needs to be fixed.

[–] OopsOverbombing@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Thank you. That's one of my little pet peeves I see online; that and when people are trying to say lose but type loose.

Bro that reminds me when I was in university and I used to tutor fellow students with the goal of getting laid. As soon as I got laid I stopped tutoring. Now unfortunately I'm married and have kids because of that.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

wat

[–] Princeali311@lemm.ee 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He tutored girls with the hopes of getting laid, but then when he did, it turns out he liked her and settled down with her and is now married to her.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Ohhhh for some reason my mind went to him trying to tutor other dudes to help them with women. Was very confused.

It's an excellent tactic.

He finally won the war after so many battles.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 5 months ago

this is the first real 100x developer.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

That happened.
