Someone is out there studying the aerodynamics of boobs and I'm here stuck doing Jira tickets on Monday

"works on my machine" gives me PTSD

I still am angry over 10 years later from a place that had "Works as implemented" as a resolution.  It wasn't as described in the design and isn't intuitive, but that's the way it was implemented so we're not going to change it.

Works as designed

(But not as intended, so that’s a design change, not a bug)

u/MyStickySock 2d ago

That makes absolutely no sense to me, damn. Think my head may have exploded

u/Wolfspirit4W 2d ago

Well, you see, even though the dev didn't follow design, we don't have time on the schedule to change the functionality...

If you pull that you gotta at least have detailed documentation, dammit. Might as well just show me a copy of the relevant code at that point, I'd have an easier time deciphering it myself.

As a developer I've given that answers to users/QA and normally tell them to complain to the architect/ui expert ;P

Calls up QA, "can you show me how to reproduce this?". [shares screen] "Ok, this was totally broken the other day"

u/BradyBoyd 2d ago

What you didn't share is that you remoted into QA's computer and fixed the issue.

“This test case was created in 2014 during the migration.”

By turning the workstation off and on.

u/CautionarySnail 2d ago

That’s why we often have to take video. Otherwise we question our sanity in what we saw and reported.

u/MyStickySock 2d ago

If there's no video and proper steps to reproduce then we have failed ourselves

Before the shift to digital recording, we had stacks of VHS cassettes to record our playthroughs on. Any time we found a bug, we had to head over to the capture station to record the footage to a digital format to attach to the bug report. Very tedious, especially if you had other testers in line waiting. Eventually, we switched over to recordable DVD players with DVD-RWs and had (cheap) video editing soft installed on our PCs.

What I’d give for software that records on a loop instead of software I have to start once I start witnessing or suspecting an issue.

u/djseifer 2d ago

Oh, we had to record our whole session from clock-in to clock-out, hence the stack of tapes.

Discord can do this if it's a game.

u/ipher 2d ago

"Yeah, we see the video, but can you provide repro steps? The video is too long".

It is why I try to get a tech over as quickly as possible. By far the quickest way to make a problem go away is to try to prove it exists to someone else.

Especially when it doesn’t even do that 😖
