Microsoft’s Bug Report Blunder: When Stupidity Trumps Malice
Microsoft’s decision to require video bug reports is like asking for a TikTok dance to fix your TV. It’s a tax on time and sanity, inviting developers to channel their frustration creatively. If other bug reports get a Broadway debut, let’s hope the curtain falls before their patience does.
Hot Take:
**_Microsoft’s new bug report video requirement is like asking developers to submit a TikTok dance to explain their woes. Not only does it make them look silly, but it also feels like a bug in itself—inefficient and counterproductive._**
Key Points:
– Microsoft requires video proof for bug reports, adding inefficiency.
– Developers express frustration through creative compliance.
– The video requirement acts as a barrier, potentially reducing bug reports.
– Tariffs and sanctions are compared to Microsoft’s approach as value-destroying.
– Lessons from Brexit highlight the pitfalls of poorly planned restrictions.
