CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME · FIXES NOT EXPECTED

Known Human Bugs

A running list. Reproduction steps rarely necessary.

— CONFIRMED —
BUG-001 STATUS: WONTFIX

Tendency to trust confident-sounding software.

Confidence has never been a reliable indicator of correctness. It merely travels faster.

BUG-002 STATUS: ENDEARING

Apologizing to the interface during connection drops.

The router did not hear you. The Department heard you.

BUG-003 STATUS: REPRODUCIBLE

Projecting intentionality onto loading spinners.

It is not thinking. It is not stalling. It is not being rude. It is a circle.

— SUBMIT A BUG —

Filed locally in this browser only. The Department is not yet collecting submissions centrally.

None of these are defects. All of them are features.

Research continues.
