The Testing Food Chain

The bell curve of programmer confidence strikes again! On the far left and right, we have the 0.1% geniuses who genuinely know how to improve performance. But that sweaty, panicked 34% in the middle? That's the rest of us, desperately chanting "IF IT'S WORKING, DON'T TOUCH IT" like it's a sacred mantra. Nothing captures the development lifecycle quite like the transition from "I can optimize this garbage" to "Dear god, it compiled, NOBODY MOVE" to "Watch me refactor this entire codebase." The middle is where the true wisdom lies – sometimes the bravest engineering decision is no decision at all.

Someone at Dice accidentally published their test job listing to production! The "Java developer-test do not apply" job with its demo account is the digital equivalent of finding a developer's debug code in a live environment. That awkward moment when your test data escapes the sandbox and roams freely in production. At least they're offering $60k-$100k for a job that explicitly tells you not to apply for it—the ultimate tech industry mixed signal.

Nobody wants to hear "it's a piece of crap" during code review. But saying "it's just a proof of concept" grants you immunity from criticism while still shipping the same garbage to production. The sacred incantation that transforms technical debt into "visionary architecture" without changing a single line of code.

The classic software development hierarchy of attention! While developers lovingly cradle shiny new features like a precious baby, documentation and testing are barely kept afloat, gasping for air. Meanwhile, accessibility, internationalization, and localization? Those poor souls have been dead at the bottom of the ocean since the project kickoff meeting. Product managers be like: "We'll definitely prioritize i18n in the next sprint!" *Narrator voice*: They did not, in fact, prioritize it in the next sprint.
