Users Sick Of Crappy Software
from the let-it-out! dept
A new study has shown that companies think information about software bugs should be released to the public within a week even if the software developers haven't come up with a fix yet. While many software companies say that bug finders shouldn't be allowed to release info until a fix is made, corporate customers think that's stupid. They'd much rather know where the holes are as quickly as possible - and knowing that having such info out there will make the developers have to respond faster.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
