ChrisHB Sep 2020 8:34pm, 10 Sep 2020 19,709 posts	0 ChrisHB 'solutionise' is what you'd get if say a government has made a mistake and wishes to show that it was no mistake, but actually a solution. A preposterous scenario, I concede.
ChrisHB Sep 2020 8:35pm, 10 Sep 2020 19,710 posts	0 ChrisHB As in software problems: that's not a bug, it's a feature.
NDWDave Sep 2020 8:40pm, 10 Sep 2020 12,590 posts	0 NDWDave Yep. What I would call “bug fixing” would be argued to be “an enhancement” by the dev team. Bug fixes are free but enhancements cost money...
IanS Sep 2020 10:30pm, 10 Sep 2020 2,205 posts	0 IanS And you can charge the customer for enhancements Dave
ChrisHB Sep 2020 10:32pm, 10 Sep 2020 19,713 posts	0 ChrisHB When we were outsourced we were treated to long talks about the difference between bugs (no such thing) and enhancements (limitless potential), but our loyalties oddly lay with our previous employer, not to mention a basic sense of decency.
IanS Sep 2020 10:36pm, 10 Sep 2020 2,207 posts	0 IanS A certain company we worked with overran their dev budget and spent a lot of effort trying to claw back money from the customer by charging outrageous amounts for every change request.
