I think that if one of us could answer that question, this thread would have died a while ago.

I suspect he's comparing spending the same amount of money that was spent on a sub in the market place.
If you drop a annual sub's worth of money into the market place, you get all of your points/tokens right away and more of them.

I may be wrong about what he's saying though.

one month at a time.

Or it is just stylized.
The Ancient Egyptians didn't have to draw flat people with sideways eyes. But they did it on purpose.

And, to be honest, I am not trying to tell them anything, it's about requesting.

There's a small x in the upper right-hand corner that you can click and my posts will disappear from your computer screen.
Opening this thread is entirely voluntary and optional on your part.

Anymore than it's you place to say that they can't.

Just because you miss the point doesn't mean it's not there.


Just because I am good house keeper doesn't mean that I don't "straighten up a little" before special company comes over.
The same with the bugs.
Just because they keep house [fix bugs regularly] doesn't mean that it is somehow impossible to "straighten up a little" [temporarily adjust the priority of bug fixing] before special company comes over.

I am aware that they are working on bugs. I have not made any comment to the effect that they are not doing so.
Perhaps if you used a larger font, more exclamation marks, and maybe some color in addition to all caps, maybe I could understand you better. idk

If I want to have a birthday party, does that mean I think that there's not enough cake and ice cream in my daily diet? Or I think people aren't giving me enough presents everyday?

Or is it a desire for a special event instead of a statement about the day-to-day affairs in my life?

So, if I am not under the impression that because "bugs aren't magically fixed with a wave of a wand within a few days of becoming known means that they AREN'T putting enough attention on them," then the thread is pointless?

fascinating.
and cool story bro.

That would be a problem with perception of then. Not much more I can do about that. I can only say what I mean. Other meanings and other extras that are assigned to what I say by other people are beyond my control.

I didn't say that they did't spend time on fixing bugs, nor do I think that.

I don't have any such bug.

I haven't said anything about bugs not being fixed in days after they're discovered. ymmv of course.

I am pretty sure that there's no other way of fixing bugs than devoting time to fixing them. I could be wrong about that. If I am please let me know.

I am talking about having the appropriate personnel shift the priority of working on bugs in their appropriate field from priority # y to priority # y-n where n>0 for X units of time and where a lower value for y means higher priority.

That's what I also assume. I am unsure why someone brought up putting people who don't know the system on the job. That part is a mystery to me.
I did not broach the idea. I merely pointed out the simplicity of countering the issue that was raised.

I am unclear as to why coding has to be perceived to be simple for a request for more attention be devoted to bug fixes for a period of time. But w/e.

That's all granted. Thanks for writing it all down.

not sure why I am bothering to reply, but right here:

It's pretty much the entirety of that post. It's one sentence long and consists solely of the assertion that throwing people who don't know a system at it to fix bugs is a recipe for disaster.
I honestly don't know how to make that any clearer.

If you're just hassling me for fun, you must be very bored.

And to be honest, I have no idea why that subject even came up.

There're many things that could be a recipe for disaster. I really doubt that all of them need to be addressed.
but I'll go ahead and get few out of the way.

Problem: Having animators handle database issues wouldn't go so well.
Solution: Have animators work on animation and have database admins work on the database.

Problem: Having animators sit on their hands while powers guys work on fixes wastes time .
Solution: Let the animators work on animation after they have worked on their ANIMATION bugs w/e they may be.

Problem: Using goats to code would be a recipe for disaster.
Solution: Don't use goats to code.

Seriously, a solution to a number of these objections can be figured out in the time it takes to read the objection.

But, if anyone has a moment I would like to hear about how having the appropriate personnel shift the priority of working on bugs in their appropriate field from priority # 11 to priority # 3 for X units of time is somehow the equivalent of performing a magical Hollywood hack.

umm, then why do that? Why not use the people who know the system?

Allocating man-hours doesn't have to mean putting more people on it. It can also refer to adjusting priorities so that man-hours are spent on it instead of something else--how tha man-hours are allocated.

If you can find a way to prevent, resolve, or otherwise find a way out of w/e objection you have in under 30 seconds, the devs can most likely figure it out too.

If you try, you can probably figure lots and lots of ways that wouldn't work. But, why bother?
