Great News: All Bugs Will be Fixed In the Year 2041

[softworkz]

It's simple math:

• Bugs fixed in version 1.5: 24
• Bugs fixed in version 1.4: 16

Makes an average of 20.
Releases are scheduled for about every 6 months - means 40 bugs get fixed in a year.

Current open bugs: 677

677 / 40 = 16.925 years

2024 + 17 = 2041

YAY!

But only if everybody would stop reporting any new ones. If we take that into account:

In the past 12 months, 383 (now open) + 313 (now closed) bugs have been created (https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues?q=is%3Aissue++label%3Abug+sort%3Aupdated-desc++created%3A%3E2023-03-07)

Let's take only the open ones to extrapolate. Assuming that in the coming years, 383 bugs will be filed per year which can't be closed, then the count won't be zero, but instead

6,511 Bugs in 2041

Oh....

Something is going very wrong here, to say the least.

With 40 bugs getting fixed per year and about 40 work weeks per year, we can say that there's one bug per week that is getting fixed

This in turn raises the question:

What is the one developer who is fixing the bugs, asctually doing on the other 4 days each week?

What is the one developer who is fixing the bugs, asctually doing on the other 4 days each week?

I figured it out: Drawing ASCII art in code comments:

microsoft-ui-xaml/dxaml/xcp/dxaml/lib/CueRenderer.cpp

Lines 155 to 168 in c8bd154

Comparing with MAUI

When comparing with the fixes in the MAUI changelogs from the past 12 months:

WinUI3: 40

MAUI: 783

That's a factor of 20x
