The Golden Rule Of User Interface Design

Your armor of unit tests can't save you from the sword of reality. You spend weeks building a fortress of test coverage, feeling invincible with your perfectly coded app... then some random user decides to put the poop emoji in the name field and your entire backend collapses like a house of cards. No amount of TDD prepares you for the creative chaos of actual humans using your product. The edge cases aren't on the edge—they're waiting in your production environment with a baseball bat.

That split second when you hit the wrong icon and Edge bursts forth like an ancient being finally escaping its prison—complete with maniacal laughter and excessive enthusiasm. What makes this extra painful is that Edge is actually decent now (it's Chromium-based!), but developers still treat it like that weird cousin nobody wants to talk to at family gatherings. The desperate "I'M FREE!" energy perfectly captures how Edge feels when it finally gets a chance to convince you it's not Internet Explorer in disguise.
