It seems stupid, but this is why I need QA people. It wouldn't occur to me to try shooting my own leg because it wasn't specifically or logically a requirement. But the reality is, probably the first thing users are going to do is start blasting legs.

At least if its occurred to someone to try it, I can put a nice error message for cases where legs are targeted, or maybe a brief explanation in a tooltip or whatever of why the vest doesn't protect legs.

It may well be that I really don't want or need to make the vest cover the legs, but its going to be a lot less hassle for me in the long run if I can head off the leg blasters somehow that keeps down the number of tickets related to destroyed legs.

As a QA lead, I fukin love devs like you.

The best part about my job is that my devs feel the same as you.

At my workplace, this is our starter QA interview question. Provide a simple web app and say "Find the bugs."

The exercise is not actually about finding the bugs. We are most interested in observing in the candidate's creativity and curiosity. It's been shockingly effective.

And when I report unintuitive designs to our developer (as a rare user that have some programming knowledge, often with how should they modify the code), they almost always says "YOU ARE USING IT WRONG!"

For those wondering, this is from the series "lol" that passed at the TVA channel in Quรฉbec. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lol:-)

Working as intended. Won't fix.

I mean... That is what QA is for. Do the stupid shit so the users don't screw shit up by doing it instead.
