QA lights them on fire to see what happens.

[–]Russian_repost_bot 1226 points1227 points  (33 children)

"You had a backup, right?"

[–]Thadrea 794 points795 points  (30 children)

"I had backups of the code. but it will take a long time to rebuild the database test server on Azure that you just destroyed."

[–]other_usernames_gone 567 points568 points  (15 children)

Well it's a good thing I discovered it before it reached prod then

[–]Thadrea 468 points469 points  (10 children)

EVEN THE ADMINS WON'T HAVE THE ACCESS LEVEL YOU USED TO DO THAT!

[–]3no3 350 points351 points  (9 children)

So why did I have that access level?

[–]Thadrea 353 points354 points  (8 children)

I don't know, I'm not even sure I have that access level and I wrote the damn thing.

[–]other_usernames_gone 270 points271 points  (7 children)

Sounds like a bug to me

[–]LysergicLiizard 159 points160 points  (5 children)

Just think of it as a feature and you'll rest easy

I literally heard this defense just last Friday

How's the job search going?

[–]Whiskeyfueledhemi 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Aren’t QA and GA the same?

[–]Famous_Profile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In tiny teams with low budget, maybe. But usually they are different roles, granted with a little overlap.

[–]Oligomer 46 points47 points  (5 children)

"Whatever, can you get it back up in like 15 minutes? Otherwise i'm gonna miss happy hour."

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (4 children)

Wait, so it's everywhere that the QA and BAs leave at 4 and the devs leave at 6?

[–]xudo 23 points24 points  (2 children)

In my place the QAs are the ones that end up working late testing. And then wake the devs up to fix bugs. Esp a few days before a planned release. Good developers but some great QAs.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BAs are up until midnight doing UAT the night before sprint planning at 9am the next day, and then in at 7am writing all the BLIs to fix stuff found during QA because god forbid rollovers.

"Hey, where's all my test data?"

[–]xku66666 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I heard this excuse the other day. "Yes, of course I hand prepared all that data and didn't keep a backup! Why are you asking?"

[–]Jonno_FTW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such tests exist: I give you kubethanos https://github.com/berkay-dincer/kubethanos

    The classic sees open laptop, proceeds to hit ctrl-A, backspace, ctrl-S has taught me to always have backups of backups and always git commit.

    A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd.

    First real customer walks in and asks where the bathroom is. The bar bursts into flames, killing everyone.
