I've seen impressive amounts of code written to get around one line bugs that could be trivially fixed, if only reported. One time, the LOC of the workaround basically matched the LOC of the tool, with the workaround implementing a full parser to consume the output of the tool, rather than just directly loading the json the tool was consuming. I used to get frustrated at these things, but I've become a bit demented, reveling in the asinine, self inflicted, suffering that I sometimes witness. Watching people copy paste code changes, rather than using git, is an infinite source of entertainment that's seemingly impossible to stop.
