Let’s not forget the little guys
Daniel Jalkut made a post yesterday rightfully thanking and praising the Apple employees whose sacrifice and hard work went into making Leopard a great upgrade. And while those employees certainly deserve the lion’s share of the credit, let’s not overlook the contributions of everyone that took the time test and provide much needed feedback to Apple during the course for Leopard development. Especially indy developers like Daniel, Gus, Tom, Chris, and so many others.
Reporting bugs, at least when done correctly, isn’t just pasting a stack crawl into some report with the description “I think I was checking email or something and this happened”. Good bug reports require detailed descriptions, regression testing, and often times, a test case demonstrating the problem. A little bribery may come in handy as well. Doing all this takes time and unlike the folks that fix these bugs, the reporters don’t get a dime for their efforts, at least not directly.
So to everyone out there that took the time to provide your feedback to Apple during Leopard’s development, thank you so much for your contributions to our beloved little operating system.
