Meme transcription: 4 panels of Vince McMahon reacting increasingly ecstaticly to:

  1. Your software isn’t working. Vince McMahon looks curious.
  2. The bug is in a library. McMahon smiles.
  3. There already is an issue on Github. McMahon makes an orgiastic face.
  4. They published a fix last week. [I don’t know how to describe the face McMahon is making.]

Time to write a ‘Known limitations’ section.

Time to compile it myself.

I'm tired, I thought it's published next week

This has happened to me once, in 20 years of development.

That's pretty good.

And the library update isn't published for 6 months

[–] Luvon@beehaw.org 5 points 10 months ago

The bug is in the library of a library that the library owns. They fixed it and published it in the library of the library but the library hasn’t been updated in 2 months.

I just went through this exact process (not for the first time) two weeks ago with a bug in the golang standard library. Fun times. Deep in the dependency stack of a container build my team doesn't own so who knows when I'll get a fixed version.
