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.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.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.
