@beyondmachines1, I'd mention in the alt text that the doors are open on both shores.

Kevin Lyda

@beyondmachines1 Bridging the gap between bug and feature!

Arapalla

@beyondmachines1

I really want to know...

About the bridge installation.

Sam Lehman :nixos:

@beyondmachines1 someone months from now is gonna complain like all hell when that bus is removed

JW prince of CPH

@beyondmachines1 - and then it breaks down anyway, because while it may be used as said feature for a while, it wasn't built for it & thus can't keep doing it without inevitably failing...

BeyondMachines :verified:

@jwcph

How is that different from all other "agile" features: Everything is half-assed.

To be fixed at future unspecified date, preferably when it's somebody else's problem.

Schroedinger

@jwcph @beyondmachines1 And a critical ticket is raised to get it fixed, because it is now a vital part of business process.

BeyondMachines :verified:

@SteveClough @jwcph but the Dev has no idea how to recreate the bug, i mean feature 🙃

Atlas

@beyondmachines1 a bugture? A Fug? If it’s fug technically you could be the Lead Fugger in a company…

BeyondMachines :verified:

@atlas Oh no, one must never acknowledge that it was a bug.

Always insist it's a *feature* unless PM and Dev lead say otherwise.

Arcadiagt5

@beyondmachines1 Chortle. From experience on Fixed Price Contracts, the difference between a bug and a feature is that features cost extra...

BeyondMachines :verified:

@arcadiagt5 which begs the question - does the supplier charge extra if the user starts using the bug as a feature 🤔

Arcadiagt5

@beyondmachines1 Usually, in my experience at least, the extra cost is to, ah, "enhance" the feature (when in-scope bugs get "fixed" for free(ish)). :)

BeyondMachines :verified:

@arcadiagt5 TBH from what i've seen the engineers working on a Fixed Price Contracts are in a very bad situation.

Can't comment on the sales team...

Arcadiagt5

@beyondmachines1 Bear in mind that my experience is entirely with software contracts which may vary somewhat from purer engineering contracts....

Daniel

@beyondmachines1 and if you try to fix it, someone will inevitably scream:"hey don't break my workflow!! 😡"

BeyondMachines :verified:

@wall_e you can always channel Jira, and "decide what's best for the users"

BeyondMachines :verified:

@mattjhodgkinson So they did remove the feature after all!

Jira likes that.

Matt Hodgkinson

@beyondmachines1 They said the plan was to return it as an art installation and warning to drivers, but I don't know if it was done.

BeyondMachines :verified:

@mattjhodgkinson That's just design, not a usable feature 🤷‍♂️
