I don't mind delays, quality takes time and errors pop up. It happens.
But pushing the deadline, bit by bit, is just frustrating for everyone. There's no way that, on the 31st, the dev didn't already know it was gonna take a while. But the statement they put out the day after was "this evening or sometime tomorrow". Now we're looking at a delay of minimum 10 days.
Set a date that gives more than enough time to deal with the issue and stick with that. Dancing around the fact that it's a bigger issue is just gonna make it worse.

How much can be annoying the word "bruh"...
It sounded like it was a glitch where he didn't notice how bad it was until he caught it.

I don't think you've worked with software much. Major issues look exactly like minor issues until you actually dig into the code and start changing things. Figuring out why changing a single line of code has broken the entire program is insanely frustrating when you can't see how that function interacts with the parts that break. And that's if you have actually done your coding well and documented things properly. The average dev around here is a hobbyist making spaghetti code, which just makes the whole process a descent into madness.
That also not accounting for having a major inspiration in the 11th hour that the dev is certain will drastically improve the release. Feature creep is a bane on the software community, and most can not resist it's siren call.
Most people working in software barely have any perception of the passing of time in the first place. The idea that software developers ever have a grasp on how much time something is going to take is silly. If it wasn't for financial pressures, no developer would ever give a deadline for anything. Look at Duke Nukem Forever or Star Citizen for examples of that.
It's like you're complaining the rain came, and how somebody should have done something to prevent it. It's just nature, there's not a lot you can do to make it better. All you can do accept that it's just how things are and wait it out.

You have to do what Katie wants you to do or dont do. Like go with her suggestions and have her back on choices. Then you get her as secret GF.
