When no one is QA, everyone becomes QA.

I remember when I was younger seeing how fast some products were developed and I was like “wow, how do they get these produced and tested so fast?”

As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to realize they just don’t test a lot of the time. Or don’t do proper testing.

Every company has a test environment. Some companies have production environments.

Clearly made by a junior. Any senior developer knows users are a bunch of animals.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Animals would be preferable. I reckon a chipmunk would be able to understand the instructions, it's only humans that fuck it up that bad.

Because who else would raise a support ticket because the first name field doesn't allow emoji? Or ask for a Braille language option, it's still English Karen, it's basically just a font, and there's no point anyway without a braille output, just putting the dots on the screen isn't helpful. That one got closed as it "won't fix" since there's no one in the organisation who's blind and it's mostly a hardware problem anyway.

Testing on animals in prpduction?! :O

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So the actual equivalent is testing directly on humans.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Specifically on the customers

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 month ago

So testing on animals?

[–] cliffracer_cloaka@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Which are animals.

Using the Agile framework we built our fault tolerant app to maintain uptime even when the individual micro service fails to maintain our 9.999 SLA.

Wow four nines!

Wow, 9.999 sore Louisianan assholes!

That’s almost ten!

OPs meme definitely gives off COVID vaccine vibes.
I wonder if its little problems have been fixed yet or are they still using the tried and tested (and failed testing with idk ~0.01%) formula.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you know there's like 10 different major vaccines of which the major variants include dead virus, live modified virus, mRNA, sub-protein units, and at least one other tech?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev -1 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks to you, I do now.
There seemed to be only 2 over here back when I was reading its news (oh and then a booster one that came later) and seemed like the more widely used ones were causing some blood clotting problems in some people.

[–] niartenyaw@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago

so you do test on animals

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But we do have a QA department. I'll leave it to the reader to decide if that's humane or not.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 4 points 4 weeks ago

As a QA employee, asking us to test in production is a crime against humanity.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago

Do i count as animal too? For the last weeks i had to fix userstorys and code clearly AI writen for a coworker. I CANT SEE AZURE BOARD ANYMORE IM SICK OF IT!

[–] Deebster@infosec.pub 8 points 1 month ago

My laptop doesn't have stickers all over it, but this could be my gateway sticker.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is this AI? I ask because the no sign is behind the focal items.

[–] TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i actually ran into the dude who made this design and he gave me a lot of these stickers. so, while it could’ve been made with AI, i can tell you that it was done in 2024 and i met him in an AI critical setting and he was very proud of having made this. since i don’t remember him having mentioned AI at all, i find it likely for this to be done without AI

[–] eta@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did he make more of these and does he post them anywhere online?

[–] TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

i honestly don’t know, but there’s a slim chance i may run into him again at 39c3. in that case i’ll ask

[–] stray@pawb.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

I think it's designed that way on purpose to not obscure what the objects are.

[–] YellowTraveller@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

It could just be a simple layer mistake

[–] Piege@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] ExFed@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

I want a patch. Heck, I'd settle for a sticker.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I work on a help desk that also assists with testing before a change is made to production. This meme was well received in our group chat.
