		pm215 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS My experience was actually the opposite -- a package I used broke because somebody did an automated "bump the python version this package uses" change without noticing that upstream for the package hadn't yet made a release with the necessary changes to make it work with that python version, so it fell over on startup. (They were quick with reverting it when I reported the problem.)

That happens too. But that's normal bugs.

For the issue I'm talking about you have to look. It's a non breaking bug. So unless you look you likely won't see the problem.

That's two types of bugs: 1) Those that scream at you 2) Those that hide. We're talking about by later
