Borland's bug tracking tool for Delphi was also called RAID. It used the disconnected data set and resync technology that was part of Delphi itself, which was handy for remote working before always-on internet.

Fun fact, one of Sweden’s most influential music- and culture journalists was being interviewed on national television about a weird documentary wearing a pink “Pink Flag” t-shirt with a modified Black Flag logo. Beyond meta.

#113The bug puns were everywhere! When I started working at Industrial Light and Magic in 1998, there was no bug tracker in regular use. I ended up building a bug tracker in Python called "Roundup" (inspired by a program by Alan Trombla, who came up with the name).

#116> Unfortunately, the archive project renumbers the work items. Fortunately, the original work item is remembered in the title, so you can do a search for originalid:3141 to find the old work item known as number 3141. I wonder what happened if a bug was carried over for 2 or more databases.
Presumably the archive projects are read-only and therefore once a bug goes into the archive project it never moves again.

I think I used that. Was it open source? There was a short time when there were almost no open source bug trackers
I'm sure bugzilla is older though.

That link breaks the back button, which looks like the URL shortness fault :/
I can't believe getting out of an amp page takes a copy paste on iOS.

#119I loved RAID. Lightning fast, so fast that speed was its own quality.

Of all my comments, this is oddest thing to downvote! Is RAID bad now?
or something
