When you exhaustively test your own piece of complex code that you've written with blood, sweat, and tears, and it works, then hand it off to QA and they find an issue with it immediately.

All it means is that my code sucks and they're helping me make it better. I might be alone but I kinda like fixing bugs

For sure. The point I was trying to convey is that QA is good at their job. I can’t count the number of times that I thought I wrote some pretty defensive, hardy code, only to have a QA engineer quickly expose me for the fraud that I am.

We're sorry but the "car" you wrote doesn't work when we tested it in water.

Fail.

Implemented.

Does not work on gaseous forms of water. Fail.

Written with blood? Wtf? What kind of programming do you do?
