So if I buy a used car they can’t do all that right?

Right?

Poor management and time pressure are the answers. It often looks better to push some shit code and then push the fixes later than it does to take twice as long to verify a good change.

That can lead to another problem though, which is that if a developer knows a merge is only part of the whole change, it becomes easy to assume any issues will be handled elsewhere.

This is an interesting read, but it doesn’t really live up to the title. I can see how erasure was the best compromise at the time, but it’s still a compromise.

I don’t want to sms, but also a lot of my friends aren’t techies, not to mention my family. Convincing them all to download and use the same messaging app is just not going to happen.

Gotos all the way down
