"I can't replicate it therefore your hotfix for the customer shouting at you is unnecessary"

WTF?! I had to lead this guy to the records where I'd replicated it myself in both the customer system and the demo one! There's a real sense that the core dev team in this place automatically disregards what the rest of us say (support had already mentioned it was replicable but clearly hadn't realised that they needed to spoon-feed this guy).

This place has a huge silo problem, glad I'm not staying much longer...

edit: these tags shouldn't be reordering themselves, not cool

    The tags worked on your machine... ;-)

    @Fast-Nop now if only they worked for that guy who wouldn't look properly!

    Are the tags sorted or hashed when saved to the website?

    They aren't hash tags, but...

    You people are only just now discovering the tag issues? They’ve been bothering me for years!

    In Germany everyone says reproduce instead of replicate. Are you a native speaker? Can you tell me how wrong/correct this is? 😄

    @Root I always felt like the tags were a lottery.

    It would be kind of fun to figure out how it sorts them. Then maybe we can put funky characters in there to make them sorted. Maybe need to write a devrant tag sort simulator.

    At work, the senior devs (and managers) only care about problems that affect the big clients. If I’m working on a bug that affects a smaller client, i get told off for wasting my time and being unproductive. If a larger client suddenly starts complaining about the same bug, it’s immediately a huge top-priority issue, but my coworkers don’t even remember that I was trying to fix it. (and if I remind them, I get in trouble again for not fixing it despite being told not to…) Then the ticket goes to a “legendary” dev who makes a big deal out of it and they take all the credit. Can’t win either way.

    @lensflare I am a native speaker (British) - I tend to associate 'reproduce' with North Americans and 'replicate' with Brits, but there's definitely no rule I've come across as to which might be "officially" correct

    @Demolishun Non-deterministic. They reorder (occasionally) on reload.

    @katvoira ah, so Americans reproduce while Brits replicate. God to know!

    @electrineer Britons don't do that because that would be indecent. They take nightly holidays.

    @electrineer Oh and btw,. Germans perform sexual acts. That's not only efficient, but also avoids any risk of romance. Double win.

    @Fast-Nop I see how we got here, but am still confused how we got here.

    @Demolishun "It was her.
    It was *him*.

    It was him."

    @Root yikes, no QA to determine the impact of a bug on the actual product before it reaches customers?
