I found a bug in the .NET framework and fixed it by hand-altering the DLL
The real news here is that this is considered special.<p>In most other languages, they'd have forked the source, fixed it, recompiled it for their own uses and submitted a pull request or patch.<p>I'm a big .NET fan, but the fact that we have to jump through such hoops to find and fix a bug, and then still have near certainty that we're going to have to reapply the patch for many updates to come, well, that's just a bit sad. It feels rather last-century, to be honest. Microsoft could save a lot of double work if they'd just open source .NET and attach a decent process to it. They can still be the Linus. Just consider my patches.
