minus-squarehakunawazo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up49·2 days agoBut they still don’t think of all common user possibilities. I like this joke: A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. 0 beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. “qwertyuiop” beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and asks where the bathroom is. The bar goes up in flames.
