    It's great to add new features, but couldn't GitHub fix the essential ones first?

    Just this week, I encountered the following problems:

    - a diff showing "0 files changed" while there are many [1];

    - suggested changes in a PR not rendering the original line [2];

    - bug trackers not showing more than the 40th page [3].

    Might seem nitpicky but it was just over the last week... I have a whole bunch of other bugs on my mind, and unfortunately, it's only gotten worse over the years. To the point where I almost don't care anymore.

      A lot of those bugs are fundamental ones related to the basic architecture unfortunately and can’t be easily fixed because of all the load bearing crap that has been added on top of code written nearly twenty years ago. or so a little birdy told me…
