That may be true, but I'll be damned if it's "my responsibility" to do so. The only person responsible is Vitek, since it's his program. I plan fully on making my complaint heard loud and clear the next time the renewal is up and I as a Reno SCCA board member vote not to renew it. Vitek can go straight out of business if he thinks it's okay to pawn off such untested crap on us believing (as you do) that we'll just go ahead and debug it for him. It's not my responsibility... I've already got enough software that is my responsibility. If I were to release crap like he pushes, I'd be fired.
Besides, it's perfectly reasonable for me to expect that as a professional software developer selling software that's basically mission critical to a race region, that he does minimal regression testing. But it's obvious that he doesn't know a multi-threaded application from his own asshole, let alone understanding proper QA processes... so complaining to him is a much bigger waste of my time than simple refusing to pay him any more money. It will never be right.
