    As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

      “Huh, I wonder” has been driving general scientific progress and heart failures in engineering since forever.

      I was a QA engineer. I think one of the guys on the team I was on developed a stress response from hearing me walk over to his desk.

      Lots of “page crashes if the user doesn’t have a last name”

      “Why wouldn’t they have a last name??”

      “No idea, but 372 users in the DB don’t, and 20 of them were created this month so it’s not an old problem”

      “incoherent muttering and cursing”
