@dianea This was around the time I noticed that the Unix implementations were generally solid ... and winsock was a steaming broken pile of optimism-coding (closest they could come to vibecoding without genAI)

@StumpyTheMutt @BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert and whether your packet drops can be repro'd, what skills you have written up, how good your design docs are

@BlackIkeEagle @bert_hubert all joking aside, most large software companies now have automation pipelines that do exactly that: take a Bug off the queue, propose a fix, compile, run unit tests, run regression suites, review and comment the implementation, write up the fix make the patch ready for review.

Sure they only cleanly fix a fraction of the bugs. But that fraction is increasing.

@alexwild The AfD and TPUSA almost certainly are two sides of the same virtual racist christofascist organization
