I don't write code, but I try to do my best to download the latest nightly at least 2-3 times a week to go through a bunch of tests. It's not exactly scientific, but there have been occasions where I find little bugs and try to fix them or report them. It's not often, but I still run the nightlies anyway. I used to be a corporate software tester. The job of those schmoes is to verify the software works like intended, not as people would try to use it. So, you'll always have things pop up in commercial software once it's released. I would say Dan, Victor, KDF, and all the other software devs (working for slim or not) are a whole lot more talented than most of the people I worked with developing commercial software. Oh, and I've only been stranded twice running the nightlies with my slimp3 or sbg. None recently, so much so that my wife has been hinting around at wanting to get a couple more.
