A bug, I suppose as toggling the setting “hide from latest topics” did nothing.
That took one ugly workaround, but it’s fixed now.
You don’t have to use it, if you don’t feel like it. You can always just put things in Lounge.
I’m fond of the topic as it’s a bit of a contrast to the business world, where failures are concealed and more like the scientific ideal where an experiment is valuable if it came out as expected or not. I also like it for social reasons. It would be nice to have a community where one is comfortable sharing crashes and failures. It’s also encouraging to not give up, when one sees that others have crash, too. Like seeing the early work and sketches of famous painters.
For showing off ones own progress? Hmm I’m afraid it could cause a bit of confusion with the Engineering category. But there isnt really a place where one can track the progress of ones system including testing days. I’ll make one and we’ll see how it will be used.
(Could be a main topic as well)
