Comment on Watch out for devs trying trick bug reporters into doing work
activistPnk@slrpnk.net 6 months agoSomeone tasking someone else without paying them is indeed being not where they belong. In the case of the OP, that’s the dev tasking the bug reporter.

Are you a paying customer? If so, I understand completely.
Is this free software? The dev is a bigger volunteer than you.

Testers and bug reporters are not paying customers. They are volunteer CONTRIBUTORS you asshole.
Obviously not.
Nonsense. Contributors are equals. Exceptionally, devs who demand that testers fix the software are notably smaller.

So you did not pay, but you are BOLDFACING your volunteer contribution over the much larger contributions of the developers.

It is not “much larger” for a dev to task the tester to implement the fix. The dev is no more than a manager in this case.
