   "Bug" is an racist trope. That's just the way the system works. I hope you get stabbed on mass transit.

     I just heard a programmer utter, unironically, the sentiment that “We can’t fix bugs until users find them.”

     This is the current state of software development. In 2025, most programmers are not old enough to remember a time when developers tested their software before shipping it to end users. When software had to be as good as possible before release, because you couldn’t just patch it the next day.

     Nowadays, end users have been conditioned that all software is more or less buggy shit. They crave updates like a junkie for the next fix - hoping that this time, this time maybe the update will fix more bugs than it introduces.

     This is the current state of software development.
