Another Lasher Moment...

Today we heard the story of a code tester:

This guy, who was a tester, totaly despised the software engineers (he also happened to be a big guy, so he could probably shout down any of the pesky engineers). Not to mention the fact that he probably got paid a third of what they got paid, but the software engineers thought they were above testing (and of course hated it).

So each Monday, he'd get some donuts and coffee and invite the managers and software engineers to his office. He would then proceed to show off the week's bugs.

Now of course being confronted with bugs in your pristeen code is unbalancing enough, but having the managers see them at the same time is even worse. So this tester compiled what the six most frequent responses for a software engineer to see a bug in his code:

6. The customer doesn't need that.
5. I fixed that a month ago.
4. It's working as designed.
3. I'll explain it in the Readme file.
2. It works fine in my office.
1. SH*T.

Another great recollection from Dana Lasher....
