    I don’t have a dog in this fight but bleeding edge literally implies that unreliability is to be expected. That’s why it’s bleeding edge and not leading edge.

      English is not my native language so I may have used the term wrongly, I meant “bleeding edge” as basically very high end.

        Buddy is being pedantic, in casual use most people will use bleeding edge in exactly the same use case as you are using it.

        No worries; that would be leading edge, which you’re probably correct in your original statement with that in mind.

        Bleeding edge in English generally refers to day zero hardware, software, or services, in which mainstream support most likely doesn’t exist and it is generally anticipated that issues will be encountered.
