In the last week, we had 7 contributions to the bug-hunting category at utopian-io. There were no staff picks. Only 3 of the 7 contributions were scored above 0.


The highest scored contributions were by @blockchainstudio and @mightypanda. **Mightypanda's** observations showed that - Swapsteem code uses RxJS to subscribe to changes in data. RxJS in-turn use Observable which are Infinite Subscriptions.
> This means that the code will execute even without a subscribe being called unlike http.get where call will only be made when you subscribe to it. This causes a performance and memory hog as you exit and re-enter a controller because you are subscribing to same service multiple times.here
Click [here](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@mightypanda/swapsteem-performance-observable-are-not-unsubscribed-leading-to-higher-cpu-use) to look through the report for further information.

**Blockchainstudio's** report stated that while using the default steemit frontend, the user profile information (cover image, rep, location, about...) is not shown on curation/author reward pages. Rep is shown as 25, default.

He would go on to detail the reason behind this and would propose a fix.

### Common Mistakes And How To Fix Them
I will be highlighting the common mistakes found this week, and I will be offering tips on how to avoid them in future contributions. The tips will depend solely on the scores received by the contributions in a particular week.

##### 1. Contributions scored 0

**_The issue you reported is OS related and is therefore not the application's fault. The operating system does not support this particular feature_** 

- My advice for cases like this is - wait for the PO to affirm your observations. I know most times the project owners are too busy and do not respond in reasonable time and so you are pushed to post on utopian without them first acknowledging whether an observed behavior is a bug or an intended. It can be frustrating but I'd still advise that hunters in the future should wait for the PO's thoughts, especially in cases where the details behind the implementation in question are sketchy. 

##### 2. Contributions with a score below 60
**_The contributor made no efforts to pinpoint the cause, or applied incorrect methods in searching for it._**

- To avoid being scored in the questionnaire with this option, I will advise hunters to comb through the app's repo. Search the repo using a keyword related to the affected feature, it could be the name of the function itself. If found, analyze the block of code behind the function's implementation. Check for syntax and logical errors, document your findings.
