Keeping it Really Local

The other day I wrote a blog post that touched on an open issue in a module that Dave Cross maintains. After I wrote it, I wondered if the post might have annoyed him, but I figured that:

• he didn’t actually write the code in question
• the issue had been around for a while
• once you see enough of these bugs in older code, hearing someone else talk about it is not going to keep you up at night

Then he:

• merged my patch
• came up with a better solution
• wrote a blog post about that

Problem solved!
