Comment on How does code that's meant to fix one bug break other features?

The different parts of software are (maybe) meant to be independent, encapsulated from each other, but in practice it’s hard to actually do that. So if you change the behavior of one part, the other parts often need to be changed as well, and certain types of issues are easy to miss, especially when you aren’t targeting a homogenous hardware platform like a game console.
