Software has bugs. That isn’t the problem.
The problem is that there’s usually no way to tell anyone. Contact information is buried or missing entirely. When you do find an address and write in, the report disappears into a queue. And the person who could actually fix it — who would probably want to fix it — often never hears that anything is wrong.
Bad Programmers is where a report can live in the meantime: tied to the domain, visible to anyone who goes looking, waiting for someone who can do something about it. The name is for what happens when any of us validates a credit card number without stripping the spaces first. We’ve all been that programmer.
Anyone can submit a report. Reports go live after email confirmation. Voting is anonymous.
If you work at the domain — or fixed the issue as a contractor — email fixed@badprogrammers.com with the report ID, your email address, and a brief note about what changed. The report gets marked fixed. A fixed report is the best possible outcome here.
