Not really a story. But when I saw the picture it immediately made me think of how sometimes different software components are hacked together to create an integrated system
In testing, QA engineers often encounter bugs that seem severe or exaggerated, leading them to prepare for worst-case scenarios and tackle every potential problem like it’s a huge threat (the "fierce dragon"). 8-bit Dinosaur in Prod by contrast, the same bug in production might look trivial or even go unnoticed. The 8-bit Google dinosaur, which you see when you lose internet, represents how a bug that QA saw as a “dragon” is perceived as almost laughably small or insignificant by end-users or production teams.
As soon as I saw this news piece a bunch of bugs suddenly appeared right in front of him, I'm really not quite sure how that happened.
Often when we test we end up checking something twice. Perhaps you're in a regression testing zone, working through a checklist, and forget to mark something up as 'passed'. There's that moment of doubt where we have to go back and check again. I've lost count how many times I've done this in my career. 😅
