>I consider Ghostty the best video terminal emulator that I have used. For now, I have not encountered any noticeable bug yet, even if I spend a lot of time using it.
Is there a way to encounter an unnoticeable bug?
>I do not doubt that there may exist some bugs or missing features, but it seems unlikely that they can be seen during typical workflows.
Boyoboyoboy. It seems that you have never heard of the concept of combinatorial explosion, which in software testing, means that due to the zillions of different execution paths, plenty of bugs, which are undetected, can still exist, and can very easily not be found by just one lone ranger using some software package, no matter how long they use it, at least within a few years.
>For decades, I have used a great number of video terminal emulators.
Were you using that great number of emulators serially, or parallely, in those decades?
If parallely, you must have spend less time on each, than "for decades" implies.
If serially, you must have spent a great number of decades to use a great number of emulators.
I read many of those sad sack comic strips, and many others, like dennis the menace, richie rich, archie (archie, betty, veronica, reggie, moose, midge and jughead), casper the friendly ghost, phantom, etc., in paper comic books, as a kid.
somewhat or quite entertaining, depending on which strip, i gotta say.
the image of sad sack sitting on a stool n peeling potatoes is imprinted in my memory, ha ha. hey sarge.
It was Kamala, bro. biden was replaced by a humanoid robot for his 12 last months in office. trump was one of the founders and the CEO (Chief Executed Officer) of that robot company. he's also gonna be the next Pope. just you wait ...
iow, it's the equivalent of your common or garden variety of teenager proclaiming that this new thing they just found is gr8, all else is shite, only to jump on the next bandwagon next week, month, or more rarely, year.
yes, except it's more ... on the same lines, just to hammer the point home:
it's web 2, it's SaaS, it's the latest weekly, er, sorry, daily, hottest JS framework, its the latest rap / punk / hippie / dreadlock / crewcut / swami / grunge/ guru hairstyle, it's agile, it's functional programming, it's OOP, it's OOAD, it's UML, its the Unix philosophy, its Booch notation, it's CASE tools, ... going back even further, it's structured programming, it's high-level languages, it's assemblers, its veganism, it's the keto diet, it's the Atkins diet, it's the paleo diet, it's cholesterol is bad, no, it's good, etc etc etc.
>You need to stay on top of things and communicate regularly, even if your client doesn't.
you have to tell them that they have to communicate regularly too. otherwise, how can business be done. how can issues be sorted out. they will blame you for the issues later, although they did not discuss them with you. aka cya syndrome.
if they continue not to do it, you should fire them. or use reverse signoff protocol.
"we mutually agreed at the start of this engagement, that if you don't sign off on acceptance of a given deliverable within x days, it is understood that you have accepted it and will pay for it".
If it happens more than once, leave them. it indicates they don't take you seriously.
all such terms should be put in the contract, initially.
if they don't agree to such mutually protective terms, don't sign the contract at all.
