 if it was hella important only your love object can get that

so, she made a big mistake, and i'm not imputing intent, it's actually a little picture of how miserable software development is these days that this kind of "tell everyone function" is COERCIVE

it happens, don't expect to be given praise for missing something

this is how it is in software, if your code isn't exact, and fails to do what people expect, pile-in

it's rough, you need the motivation to prove you are better, don't take that away from her 
 look, my work of the first half of 2024 and with a whole month me doing my darnedest to catch the bug couldn't find it

so i made this thing, spent 6 months on it, it is useless

how do you think i feel right now about that?

yes, been 7 weeks trying to do what i think i need to do to fix it

because of the pre-shame

if i'd actually put taht out and someone goes "hey, this thing is broken" i would have been shame

and even, someone claimed to be running my code

and they didn't tell me it was broken, and i knew it was broken because i had been testing it constantly for months

idk what to say

calm your little heart but the wrong answer is gonna ket people killed 
 Well I didn’t sign any kind of tough love contract. So if y’all put out a project I like, with a one little flaw, I am gonna continue to point out the strengths. https://i.nostr.build/9CrDwO2vQeg6VzP7.gif  
 thankfully there will be someone who will file a faithful actual bug report eh nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyw8wumn8ghj7argv43kjarpv3jkctnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcqyrwkvn27gqtyxw5v660sqkhpfqyqgdgh3x6emed0qcnkmejkx0f3jstwprn  wot? 
 Well I don’t like the social environment of software one bit 😂

Idk how she does it. 
 she is motivated by being right, and making it work
