I spend a lot of time trying to get my code right. Sure, I'm not immune to bugs. Could I be better about methodically testing? Absolutely, especially since I hate that part, but I think for the most part I do a pretty good job. I just spent awhile tracking down all kinds of little issues to get my SVGs rendering pixel perfect. They now look better than the reference implementation I've been using.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's mail client dies inside about every other time my computer suspends itself. Their windows task bar gets confused and starts stacking task icons almost completely on top of each other, etc.
If big companies like MS are pushing user expectations downward in terms of software quality, it makes me wonder.
Other than integrity and self respect, why do I care if my code works, if Microsoft doesn't? If IBM doesn't? If Oracle doesn't? You know?

I thought we were doing a different setter per-day (not WSO). If not, I'm happy to be up again tomorrow.

Is there a list anywhere ?
Edit - found these names in one of your posts ( I added the days )
Pete O Hanlon - Mondays
Peter_in_2780 - Tuesdays
pkfox - Wednesday
OriginalGriff - Thursday
A N Other - Friday
We could do with one more setter, the setters can liaise with the others if they can't do a certain day
I know Peter_in_2780 can't do Thursdays because of commitments

So, let's see what tomorrow brings.

I can do Thursdays, but you probably need to let people know what day you have assigned via the at-codes - I had no idea I was up for then.

Good afternoon, @Peter-in-2780, we're trialling the CCC OTD this week and your name is now down for a Tuesday. Are you going to be able to post tomorrow or do you need more time?

RIP Kris.
I remember a dilemma about Me and Bobby McGee that is still chasing me. If freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, and somewhere in the lyrics he says he would trade all of his tomorrows for a single yesterday...was he not free and more happy yesterday, or was he free but still lost something?

I'm sure Sanders is on his way if not yet done so... wut wut.
But, how many of y'all have helped change someone's day (or life) for the better? Whether it be a stranger or a sibling?
Be it with tech, their career, helping a fellow bro overcome his fear of women, inspiring peeps to lose weight, bringing the awesome, or just smiling to brighten someone's day even if they are poopy, whatever the case... who's the secret guardian angels up in here?
Or what about regrets where you had those moments you really wished you helped someone out but lacked the courage to? Those can be life changing too. Lord knows I have a few of those moments.
