I definitely know what you feel.
Sometimes bug descriptions are so generic or cryptic that i even consider communicating with the author to learn more about the bug or teach him how to write helpful bug reports... -

Alas, often it's way faster to just scry the answer using pigeon's guts instead of getting it out of the reporter -

Well, if you can find it in the logs... Then yes.
But if not, interrogating the reporter tends to yield good results. -
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
The truth is that the reporter is an idiot.


Sometimes getting tickets from the clients feels like a Sherlock Holmes adventure. Figuring out what the hell they meant, tracking down resources that should be included in the ticket, so much fun. I need to buy a pipe and a spyglass.
