Oh No! There's an "S" missing
Today's panic is a missing "S". Apparently this constitutes a 'major' bug in the code.
To fix it, you have to open a file and insert the offending "S" and then save the file.
Go on, try it. Open a file, insert an "S" and then save it. There, how long did that take you? Exactly.
Why am I spending time explaining this to my boss? Because the morons who wrote the code want to distract people from noticing that they can't actually do their job properly. I think we have more important things to worry about than a missing "S". More important things like, the rest of the code doesn't actually work.
Err, hello, priorities anyone?
So, no, we don't need a new process to avoid missing "S"'s. What we need is to hire people who have at least a tentative grasp of the concept of software development and who can actually write some sodding code without breaking the bloody product.
It's not that difficult a concept, surely.
