I've also seen situations where a customer reports a bug, the fix breaks some regression, and the updated behavior to work around the fix breaking the regressions turns into an undocumented feature.

How do you break a regression? A regression is breakage. Are you one of the people who use "regression" to mean "regression test"? Did Codex learn this from you? I hate it.

  • Yeah, sorry, it was a codebase with _only_ regression tests dating to the 80s, so we called everything a "regression".
