alt Hacker NewsI've never understood why bugs get treated differently from new features. If there was a bug, the old feature was never completed. The time cost and benefits should be considered equally.

Because the goal of most businesses is not to create complete features. There's only actions in response to the repeated question of "which next action do we think will lead us to the most money"?

Bugs can get introduced for other reasons besides “feature not completed”.

until we develop a way for MBA's with spreadsheets to quantify profit/loss w.r.t. bugs, it will never be valued.

If the bug affects 1 customer and the feature affects the rest, is the old feature complete?
It's not binary.
