 This is actually what they usually tell me.

Or they say "user error". 🥴 
 I've been seeing this one on #Primal web for months. It's a permanent bug. There's a Cancel button someplace way off to the right. I keep writing about it and some of those notes have trended, but their developers don't really use Nostr or follow me, so... 🤷‍♀️

It's on every mobile browser I use, and it's like...
Tell me you didn't test your software without telling me.

 Here's how to recreate this bug
1) Open Primal.net in an Android browser.
2) Click on any note in any feed.
3) Try to reply, by clicking on the reply field. 
 i've just never liked primal... and i don't use mobile... but that is pretty bad lol 
 “Their developers don’t really use nostr” ☠️☠️☠️☠️ 
 Arkinox, you changed your npub?  
 haha, nah, i'm the guy who says "don't use it, i haven't got it production ready yet" 
 This is always the correct answer.
A Definition of Done that can be 💯 fulfilled isn't done yet. 
 all software development is Die Unendliche Geschichte 
 Yeah.

What drives me nuts, tho, is the idea that agile means the first releases are really buggy and you clean it up, later.

Ummm. No. The DoD starts with the first increment. The increments differ by feature set, not quality. 
 yeah, features are the hardest thing to get right, the less the better

working through this bluesky API is a nightmare because of their lack of moderation with features, and the naming scheme is so bad i could scream... i mean stutter stutter, and more stutter, and just throw in some more random meaningless words that you have to read their documents twice to even understand 
 Only one of us has even gone there, so far. We're blocking it out. 🤣  
 I have been looking at agile very critically lately for that exact reason. No professional experience, but idk man
 
 Well-done agile is extremely efficient. 
 I'm sure is efficient in development, but there is something about an app that's always in pre-release, deferring QA to the user. It's just incomplete and that's what bothers me I guess.  
 That has nothing to do with agile, tho. Agile releases a done increment. 
 If anything, agile should be raising overall quality, rather than lowering it.
