Test Your Code

The eternal paradox of software development: being asked to write tests to verify the code you just wrote. Because apparently, the same brain that produced potentially buggy code is somehow magically going to produce flawless tests. It's like asking someone to proofread their own typos—your brain autocorrects the mistakes before you even see them.

The skeptical look says it all. "You want me to test my own assumptions with... my own assumptions?" It's the circle of life in programming, except instead of lions we have bugs, and instead of wisdom we have Stack Overflow.

Fun fact: This is why code review and pair programming exist—because trusting yourself to catch your own mistakes is like being your own lawyer. Technically possible, but probably not your best move.
