    The great thing about third party apps is that those are often the same thing! There’s definitely a ‘fine then, I’ll fix it myself’ attitude that’s a great motivator to many projects

    Does anyone know the story of the dev who was playing a game, encountered a bug and submitted feedback? The company ignored him, but they were hiring so he applied. He was hired, spent his time there fixing the bug that he had originally submitted, then as soon as it was implemented he quit. What a chad.

      Common story, very funny though. I’m actually working at a SaaS vendor I used to use, and their search was unusable. I finally got to fix it and am very happy about it

    Don’t forget: Implement an obscure feature that no one needs because the perfect way of doing it came to me in my sleep and I have to check if it works.

    ✅ Implementing a feature because you want to use some new shiny tool.
