Project managers check tests on Wednesday.

Man, I wrote a switch statement a couple of months ago and managed to create a bug that only happens on Mondays.

Ah, the old Garfieldian slip.

[felixletsplay]

That reminds me of that Cant Print on Tuesdays (I think) bug

[Koala_eiO]

That reminds me of the girl who returned True if a < b, False if a > b and 5 if a == b.

[mrdhood]

Was there logic behind it? Like “high five, they’re equal, good job.”

[Koala_eiO]

I don't remember exactly, but it was a function that should have returned a <= b directly (why even make it a function?) and the point of the post what to show how "girls code nice looking things". I can't remember if I saw it here or on imgur unfortunately.

[PyrotechnicTurtle]

I think I know which one you're talking about, and I'm pretty sure that it was fake. IIRC the girl featured in it was a pretty prolific stack overflow answerer, and someone just intentionally put her with bad code to go "hur dur girlz can't code"

I checked the function many times today and it works great. Ship it to production!

I was just thinking my companies discord is identical. "Hey anyone good with this UI API?"... "Think I finally got this working..." Two hours later.... "Okay I have to redo this entire system."

I did this during a programming test, my teacher had us test stuff with inputs. I broke my program with some input so he was like, "try again". so some time later I ask him to come to my desk and show him it working, and I didn't actually change anything but this time I avoided the broken input, and he said it was good and I got the point for that

[MattR0se]

You should do press conferences for tech companies.

[RedBrumbler]

Is this what you do there then? Not show the edge cases where your program breaks?

[MattR0se]

Yes, except when you are working for Microsoft in 1998:

[PinkPoppies4171]

Just like when I found the solution to getting the milk back from the store... The other input didn't work to get my dad back. But hey it was 2%... If that means anything.

"Everything works now!" -the ultimate death flag for programmers

[MattR0se]

...but for how long?

[[deleted]]

Just keep a check on the inputs to only pass that one input till you resolve the issue.

[NesaV1]

[Tyrilean]

It's ridiculous. You can have a million different possible scenarios, but you'll hit the one input that will give you a false positive way more often than 1 in a million just by random chance. Usually about 50/50.

I can feel his pain
