    And that's why I actually mentioned in my reply to Sarah that "(in
    fact, with Rafael it was at least partially just bad communication,
    and I haven't had that issue with him before)", because I have this
    distinct memory that we ended up having that exact discussion about
    misunderstanding and bad wording at the time.

    I react very strongly when somebody argues against fixing regressions.
    Let's just say that there's too many years of baggage that I carry
    around on that issue..

    So that is definitely one of the things that make me go ballistic.
    Buggy code isn't actually one of them. Bugs happen. Even really stupid
    bugs happen, and happen to good people. They had a bad day, or it was
    just a brainfart. Not that I will be _polite_ about bad code, mind
    you, and there might be some bad words in there, but it doesn't make
    me blow up.

    Being cavalier about known regressions is definitely the primary
    trigger. I suspect there are others, but I can't seem to recall any
    other particular hot-button issues right now. Maybe Sarah can post a
    few more pointers..
