I'm working on someone else's code right now and when I think I fixed one thing I break three more. I'm at the point where I just want to build this thing from scratch.
Recently I was trying to get a game to work. The game worked fine on windows but had issues on linux and I wanted it to work on linux so I got the source code and tried to compile it. It was some modded quake 3 thingy but the code followed some weird standard that wasn't C99 or C89. Both gcc and clang where having issues so I gave up. I was thinking about forking it other and making a modern version of it but I have other projects.

Some say the programmer is the best tester. I say the user is the best tester. That's why I do not test anything.

Only valid response here. Better let prod user test my code. I have better things to do.

Who knows how it should work better than the end user?

I don't know which one is gonna be more effort.
