I'm not sure what you're expecting to get back. To me it's like feeding the Geese. They take your bread and gobble it down just to make a mess for you to step in, yet for some reason there's something enjoyable about doing it.

Bottom line, if you don't want to fix problems with your code when they arise, don't release it, but if you don't you won't get as much self-satisfaction, and have zero chance for a thank you.

    Yeah, but at least with geese there's the knowledge that at some point you're going to be able to wring their necks and eat them. And they'll taste good

    If you try doing that with management... well, they're unlikely to taste as nice as goose does.
