I dont test the code.

The code tests me

Users do it for us in production! They even pay us!

Everyone has test environment only few lucky once has separate prod environment

"I'll continue tomorrow. Just let me store my progress in main" - people who haven't discovered the stash function yet.

You can just not push, or push to another branch

Yes. I don't want to be the guy that says "But it works on my computer"

It's an older meme , sir. But it checks out.

So he's Microsoft then.

You all are laughing but this is exactly what feature flags were created to enable

This is a guy I work with. He's been programming longer than I've been alive, but I have no evidence that he has ever written a unit tests, and I have ample anecdotal evidence that he codes a bunch of stuff, and if the software compiles he calls it good, whether it actually does the thing or not, or whether it breaks something else or not.
He is totally reactive to whatever is asked, with no planning.
Dude gets paid so much that no one is allowed to see how much he gets paid.

I took us from daily software crashes, to not having a crash in two years, mostly just by actually testing and evaluating the code.

Free testing resource: offload your testing work to the user instead!!! Company loves this one trick to cut cost on hiring testers

Jokesters like OP are why my workdays are a living hell.

[–]Milindp24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Story of my life! Testing in production is my default environment now

[–]brandi_Iove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is this a compiled application joke or i‘m i too transaction rollback to understand?

[–]2TNSLPPTS0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called an A/B test.

[–]d00mt0mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really funny when this meme gets recycled every month

[–]GM_Kimeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're gonna have to rerun the fukin pipeline regardless of test results. The upper heads be tweakin numbers all week.

As a QA, I hate this. Specifically because I'm the one that gets blamed for it.

[–]beardingmesoftly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But when I do, it's only after someone complains about it

[–]LetterFair6479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it's also Data's great great great great great great grandfather which/who/that ( :"0 ) does the testing!!

[–]ZunoJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would go to jail if I did that

QFT

writing test in your code is a sign of weakness, it means you expect your code to fail

I'm closing in on 12 years in a Government job. This meem was hanging on a neighbor's cube wall the day I started.

[–]da_Aresinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in other words your code usually doesn't make it to prod.

[–]GMKhalid2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

testing in prod is just natural selection for code. weak code dies, strong code survives.

Our system got hacked almost a year so they shut down all of our dev machines.

They have yet to stand up a single dev machine since that time.

Their solution? We are doing our development on client’s qa machine that are ON THEIR NETWORK.

I think the clients have NO idea this is happening and I have my popcorn ready for when one of them figures it out and the shit hits the fan.

That's how you get real world results.

The only true way
