Achievement unlocked: Made Microsoft Fix it's crap!
-
Of the bug reports I have filed, they have only acknowledged one of them and it took two whole new OS versions for it to be fixed. To another one I filed, they replied that behavior is by design. I then stated that behavior is inconsistent with these cases and they replied, "oh."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
I got lucky. Brice (the dev who finally fixed it) confirmed it was a bug when I initially posted for help on Stackoverflow. It was only an ~50 line fix; so it wasn't a hard problem to solve, just not particularly high priority so it kept getting punted to v.next. On my side I just needed to keep reverting the bugged generation via git after each DB update. If the project hadn't ended I'd've probably changed up how I was doing the DB project at some point to avoid the nuisance.

Only took 21 months; but they fixed the :elephant:ing bug I found with EF Core and SQLite. https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/11961[^] It was a solid year and a half after the project in question ended; but is still a nice end to an otherwise bleh week. This

:thumbsup: Dan ... MS should pay you for that: an initial sum, plus interest for every month the issue is not fixed, or, resolved in a matter satisfactory to the dev who reported it.

So, now the question is, what did they break in the process of fixing it?
I was going to say that, but I look through the replies to make sure I'm not repeating someone else's brilliantly witty reply! :-D

I'd bet that most devs who complain about Microsoft's bugs would feel different if their own customers complained about their bugs the same way they complain about Microsoft's. :laugh:

When my customers complain about a bug it doesn't take years to get fixed. :-\

And when you have as many products and customers as Microsoft has then you might have some understanding as well. ;) I'm not defending them nor offending you. I just find it interesting that lots of devs hold Microsoft to a much higher level than they hold themselves, or at least that is how it appears.

Exactly my same thought. If you are using an Open Source software and find a bug, go fix it and open a pull request to contribute back.

I was working under VM on an IBM mainframe and found an error in a feature of one of the system utilities. I reported same to IBM and got the IBM solution a mere six weeks later! Before you get to thinking of that as fairly impressive, the solution was a new page for the manual saying that feature was no longer supported! Note: Back then the manuals were actually printed on real paper neatly organised in a set of ring binders. Ah, the good old days.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
