It would have taken 1 minute without bureaucracy because it's a single line in a config file.
“Bureaucracy” like finding the config option, running tests, and committing to source control would all build up to more than one minute if a human does it.
It’s extraordinarily common to underestimate how long easy things take though!
I totally believe it took less than ten minutes. I don’t believe it would take less than one.
Also this guy when Valve releases something with a bug: “Why don’t those clowns at Valve care about software quality and testing‽ “
1 minute is still less than 10 minutes.
Misread.
No. (I actually don't know who you refer to, and assume you refer to me to have misread your reply.)
I misread, pardon.
