alt Hacker NewsYeah, I hate these forms (issue templates) too. Every time I have to fill such a form, I always feel that they are discouraging me from writing the bug description in a natural, coherent way. I'd spend more effort to make sure the description is clear and contains all necessary information, if there's no issue template requirements.
Yes, but most people won't. Most people will submit a bug report with important information missing that means we have to go back and forth. Also, there is often specific debugging information that people would not even know would be useful.
In the current age, its useful because AI will submit tickets using the CLI that don't use the form, so I can immediately close and lock them and go on living my life.
