Eventually, every bug is a feature

We all know about the famous saying, "it's not a bug, it's a feature". Usually, this comes from lazy developers or irritable sysadmins. Sometimes, it might just come from the users themselves!

There is actually some truth to that: after you've spent years working with software broken in unexpected ways, you embrace your fate and start developing odd work habits around that… But I didn't want to start a rant here (I'll save that for later), I just wanted to share a quick laugh, so there you have it!
