The engineer in the joke should have ordered some Bobby Tables for dessert.

This story is a lie.

There's no "computer icon". Dragging the System disk to trash ejects it on a classic Mac. If you burrow down into System, you can try deleting system files… which are locked and can't be deleted.

You can test this yourself on Infinite Mac

I would be absolutely amazing at this job, I do this naturally, I am inescapably an agent of chaos.

The problem there is that you have to know exactly what you've done to mess it up in order to fix the bug, and when I fuck up my system, I usually have no idea what I did.

QA today seems to just be releasing software in whatever state and maybe fixing it later.

QA in large companies seems to be first to get outsourced or at best, contacted into temp positions. First to get mixed, too. It's the "skill-less labor" of the tech world.

In other words, blame the idiots in charge for not really investing in QA lol

It's the "skill-less labor" of the tech world.

Which is funny because you need a technical AND a creative person to handle QA.

Isn't it, haha. And yet I know a place that outsources it to slavic countries to save cash. I guess they're tech savvy, but as contract workers it's hard to say their dedicated to their craft.

I'm a good enough software engineer that this isn't true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

(The above statement is not a truthful statement.)

I'm so glad you can automate QA jobs
