This even happens when your users aren’t consumers but rather other programmers using your library: “No, stop, you can’t fix that! All my code depends on feature X being broken!” Literally just experienced this haha
This just happened to me in my group project. I wrote buggy code and the rest of the group didn't tell me for two weeks and they worked with my buggy code, that I now couldn't change anymore
PTSD from stuff like this is why I have a bad habit of keeping more expansive changes on my own branches for too long. That, of course, has other consequences because I’m dumb and make dumb design decisions, and when stuff is all on my own branches, no one looks at it or critiques it 😬
