Good point. But, while a dev says “My bad” and fixes the bug, a politician just shrugs and often doubles down.
At the very least, the Dev will explain to the team why a bug happened so that others don’t repeat the mistake, but a politician won’t address any of the three scenarios you identified.
I fear this metaphor is stretching to breaking point, but the central point remains that it should not be acceptable for a politician to lie, yet somehow here we are…
Except bugs are usually unintentional and, with a good team, found and fixed before they cause any harm - usually before they’re public.
The equivalence would be non-political fact checkers and public apologies and/or policy changes. The media has given up on the first (for the most part) possibly becase politicians just ignore the second.
Politicians stock-in-trade is information. This is their work product.
I am a software developer. If I turn in software that doesn’t work. I get fired.
JD Vance, and all other politicians who lie should also be fired for not doing their jobs.
This is the world I want to live in.
While congrats are very much in order here, am I the only one cynically wondering if the word “Out” in the headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting?
I swear on my Commodore 64 I looked and found nothing.
You are clearly better at this than me, and thank you!
I don’t know what the hate is unless you are trying to store time as a String property. There a special place in hell for all developers who do this.
IMHO, all you really need to know is an Epoch time stamp and whether it’s localized to the viewer or the creator… Not that complex. The problem with time zones is that politicians keep changing them
Honestly, I’d rather give the creator of NULL a slap.
This is one of the very rare occasions I believe what he’s saying…
