It's news to me that fully fixing a bug constitutes an "astoundingly high standard for successful collaboration." I consider that a baseline expectation, across my 14 years and 5 different companies of industry experience.

I stand by my point that this is a symptom of amateur hour engineering.

Seriously, can you list those 5 companies? Because where I am currently at, this level of ineptitude is something to aspire to.

Fully fixing every bug constitutes an astoundingly high standard for successful collaboration. Every place I've worked fully fixed some bugs, after all. You'd think that massive company-threatening bugs that result in damage control to the press would be different, and they are, but often not in a way that makes them more likely to be fully fixed.

I note that you seem to have ignored my question entirely, in what I can only characterize as mean-spirited discourtesy.

It's the one bug involved in a huge outrage and a statement from the CEO. It's the one bug that they announced publicly that they fixed, despite absolutely knowing that they didn't. So yeah, just one bug.

(Nothing against this PM, btw. But what a bunch of incompetence from the CEO)

Awesome. Would you mind answering the question posed above you? I’m definitely curious myself.

Looking at the public bug tracker of any mildly large company teaches me that fully fixing a bug just isn’t a thing they do.
