Turning Off GitHub Issues (2016)
> Think you found a bug? Fork the repo, add a failing test<p>Ugh. No. 999 times out of 1000, the person maintaining the code actually knows what it does and how it works. And if I'm not that person, I don't. I found a problem. The problem affects me. It also probably affects other people.<p>I'm an intelligent, capable, curious, knowledgeable, and caring professional software developer. I write code for fun, but I write _my_ code for fun. And after that I don't have the energy or the inclination to learn how your shit works deep down where it matters. Because what will take you a minute, will take me a month unless I stop going to work every day.<p>I will do my best to describe what I was doing when the problem occurred, what I expected to happen, and what happened instead, but screw you if you think I need to understand your codebase or your testing infrastructure in order to report a problem.
