Another Way to go to Grammy.

Like she says it is a Bata software and at this point in time I don't think it is any to small. Mew things are tested in the Alpha software, bugs found and fixed then put out in bata. There are a lot more people using it then and the will come up with bugs again, hope there are not to many or to bad.

Written by someone who hasn't developed software.

The belts addition first of all was not completely thought out all the way. Hence the post implementation changes. stuff like 12 hours not working, posting a belt bonus that I can't collect on, etc...are prime examples of slop that wasn't thought out and wasn't tested. Beta testing is NOT where you clean up programming screwups and start applying logical thought. you catch those in unit and system testing BEFORE implementation.

Belts in their current state = useless. I've stopped bothering.

In general, you should expect to run into bugs whenever using any piece of beta software. These bugs may range in severity, from minor features that don't work to problems that cause your computer to crash. Before choosing to use a piece of beta software, you should decide whether the benefit of new features in a beta program outweighs the risk of program instability.
