Meme transcription: 4 panels of Vince McMahon reacting increasingly ecstaticly to:
- Your software isn’t working. Vince McMahon looks curious.
- The bug is in a library. McMahon smiles.
- There already is an issue on Github. McMahon makes an orgiastic face.
- They published a fix last week. [I don’t know how to describe the face McMahon is making.]
You must log in or register to comment.
- The bug is from a library
- There are 5 dozen related bugs on GitHub
- The last commit to the library was 3 years ago
- Library is a read-only repo
- last commit was 10 years ago
And then you wake up.
Your deadline is tomorrow
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.
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.
And the library update isn’t published for 6 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.
