All done. You can update to 1.2.3.
Maybe Jon can now finish his dome!

You're not a Java programmer.
People excusing incompetance because they're unable to do better is one of the reasons the world is as fucked up as it is!

Yeah but criticizing something that you can't do better yourself is a dickish move.

If you hire a plumber to fix a leak and they end up flooding the room in the process, you don't say "oh that's ok, I couldn't do better".

That's an excellent analogy, which I will remember for future use as a witty comeback.

I agree with that one. But if someone invented a car that was perfectly driveable but only got 3mpg what would you say?
I can't invent a car, and it works fine, just sucks on mileage.
Your argument works when someone fucks up though.

I'm talking about fuck-ups.
If their aim was to produce a usable car, and they end up with only 1.2 km/l then they
have
screwed up.
You can't go shouting at schools kids at science fairs for failing to do something great, but you absolutely can if professionals are set a task and come up with lousy results.

I kind of agree. But I think it's on a case by case thing. But usually I just ridicule the person and pretend in my mind that I could do much better if I wanted to.
