sometimes, this is how programmers fix bugs in software too
@thor And software fixes are sometimes done that way because other things written before you were born are expecting that rock to be in exactly that spot and break if you do what looks "correct" and move the rock.
It isn't always crazy. Just usually.

@teknomunk Exactly! And most of the time programmers can't fix bugs in other software they have to interoperate with. And doing a workaround is what everybody wants from them most of the time — not whining about other software everyone uses being buggy. Look at bug trackers of most free software project: "No, we won't fix it because those other guys are stupid fucks",— and on the "other guys'" tracker: "No, it's their fault, not our problem". Is this what we truly want? 😂
@m0xee It isn't what we want, but it is what we have to deal with.
