The problem I encounter while developing occasionally is that I encounter a series of errors and in the end you stop wanting to report the 5th bug of the day and just want to fix things the best way you can. Sometimes that attempt goes sour, sometimes it gets me out of the problem in 5 minutes.

> if only reported

Reporting bugs can be super time consuming, especially if your project is large and the maintainer has a high bar for bug reports (e.g. "provide a codesandbox link"). I can't spend 20 minutes reporting a bug that will be auto-closed in 6 months when I can attempt fixing it instead, especially if I'm annoyed at the tool already. This used to happen a lot with browsers and nowadays it happens with build tools and libraries.
