Any or all of the above. If you find yourself making the statement &quot;we couldn&#x27;t fix your bug because the developer was on leave for six months&quot; then there is something mind-bendingly wrong with your world. Six months is enough time to hire another developer to fix the bug (even if it&#x27;s a temp because they&#x27;re coming back). You don&#x27;t just... leave it broken for six months.<p>Well, apparently you do.
