I don't see how you can survive without a bug database. It is useful even for 1-man projects and there are plenty of free ones available.

Well usually we fix them as they come in. Continuous deployment FTW - weekly releases create a whole lot of baggage.

Other than that, I will just throw stuff in Trello, so I don't really have a bug database per say

I was actually mocked at a FogBugz/Kiln event for being the only developer in the room not using a Bug Database.

I'm curious about this. What do you do when you encounter bugs that have a longer fix period, say several days to a couple of weeks? Do you stop new development or are you dedicating part of your team or team's time to only working on bugs?

I consider trello to meet the minimum criteria for a bug database, I use agilezen for this purpose on one project.

How is fixing bugs as they come in different from "fixing bugs before writing features"?
