gollark: Not bugs - that happens all the time.
gollark: That's my main complaint about DC administration honestly.
gollark: Possibly.
gollark: See, much of the time, fixing bugs adds more bugs. It is possible to reduce but not eliminate the bugs you get via fixing bugs.The trouble comes when you fix the bug in a hurry, and then the broken version runs on the live servers for whatever you're thingying.
gollark: Me too.
