    I may have suggested that any programmers guilty of releasing code so incredibly damaged into a production environment should commit seppuku.

    To be honest, my anecdotal experience is that any feedback with this sort of nonsense is removed from the data set. It’s pretty easy to spot and right or wrong, it would be considered noise or an outlier at best.

      I’m certain it didn’t get read, just as I’m certain any negative feedback gets similarly binned. It was far more catharsis for me than any misguided belief that anyone would see or even (lol) act to make their product better.

        That’s why you should throw in only one or two snide remarks (suggesting commit seppuku) to ensure that you provide them professional criticism that makes it past the filters to a human, and then carefully insult the human.

        Unhelpful or unconstructive feedback? That is almost always filtered out before it ever sees the eyes of anybody important or anybody that could do anything about it.

        Negative feedback, but which is actionable or actually insightful? More often that not (again in my anecdotal experience), that’s actually given some weight.

      Fwiw we have a feature that lets people type out a message on our website and it shows up immediately and directly in our slack channel. I work for a major tech company you’ve for sure heard of
