2 hours ago, smartavionics said:We are not subject to the commercial constraints of deadlines, etc. that force employees to "make do"
Not sure I can go along with this completely as, a) Since this is a commercial project, would it not behoove them to test things and set up something as rigorous for testing as they have implemented for product manufacturing?
and B) Since Cura is as much of a face for the company as the machines, should it not be be tested for the most basic of robustness?
And c) You are right, you guys get to work on the really fun stuff that gets a lot of cool reviews, such as the gyroid infill, so, I do feel for them, but first bug that begged me off upgrading is that the 'dark' UI did not even display the right side interface. I feel that was a warning sign of issues to beware of and, it does seem to be a good thing, from what I have read so far.
Look, I am not slamming them for doing things the way the programmers are working programming department. But, I am raising issues for the people who run that area to keep an eye out on the idea that it should be as well thought out as the manufacturing process and not just to meet arbitrary deadlines.

wow guess Cura 3.5 bombed lol. im confident the team is all over it like tramps on chips. So I hop that 3.51 will be only about bug fixes and ignore any new features or experimental ones.

For example, the gyroid infill feature that should be available to all in the future probably took the best part of a working week to bring it to the point where I thought it was OK to submit for inclusion in a release. I spent a lot of time on the details because although I had something working quite soon, it was obvious that it could be better and that's what took the time. Testing and thinking. Testing and thinking. Is it perfect? Almost certainly not but I am happy enough for people to try it out.

That may be so, but, you have to admit that this current version release is bug ridden and not tested for some basic things before being released.
And, this really does not support their position. Junior people should be supervised and knowing there are junior people, someone should be expecting issues to arise and overlooking things just a tab bit harder.
