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

Meme text: "99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs đŸŽ¶. Take one down, patch it around... 127 little bugs in the code!" with an image of a frustrated character looking at a computer screen, showing how fixing one bug often introduces more.

two people suggest you fix flaky tests by disabling them or doing a retry. someone else suggests you automate at right layer, use appropriate waits and better selectors

image meme tiles, left tile shows fierce dragon with the text "testing on my laptop", right tile shows 8-bit google dinosaur which is shown when the internet is not working with the text "testing in production".

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.

I searched my photo library for the word "testing," and this appeared. I took it on September 17, 2016. It looks like I was near an Asda....

A meme from a Scooby Doo episode split into halfs. Top half there's a person looking at someone with a hood. Text: What's this? The bottom half shows the hood revealed with the text 'You literally looked a minute ago' and 'ah yeah, sorry'.

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. 😅
