A three-image collage humorously illustrating the software development process, comparing it to making a pizza shaped like a Minion.

Planning (Top Left): The dough is neatly shaped into the outline of a Minion, representing the initial design phase where the team outlines clear requirements and specifications for the product.

Development (Top Right): The Minion is decorated with toppings like cheese and pepperoni, symbolizing the development phase where features are implemented. The Minion still looks promising, similar to how software development progresses toward the intended outcome.

Production (Bottom Right): After baking, the Minion has lost much of its original shape and details, a humorous analogy for how the final product sometimes turns out after real-world constraints like testing, integration issues, or deployment challenges. This stage highlights the importance of quality assurance and thorough testing to ensure that the product aligns with initial expectations.

A meme with two frames. The top frame is a character holding their arms out to a yellow balloon with "memes" written on it. The bottom frame has the same character looking backwards at another character with "memories" written on it. The yellow balloon with "memes" remains in view but is smaller in size than the previous frame's balloon.

memes yet now there's memories

Meme template. Two prisoners in a cell. One shares that he killed a man. Another shares he tested in production. This scares the first prisoner a lot.

The kombucha girl meme. On the left, a woman's face is grimacing. On the right, the same woman's face looks relieved and surprised. Text above both left and right images: been away now reconnecting with the testing community.

Two-panel software testing meme featuring Bart Simpson from The Simpsons. In the top panel, Bart is depicted wearing sunglasses and using a white cane as if he's blind, with the text 'Testers executing detailed protocols and reporting no more bugs..' The bottom panel shows Bart peering through a large telescope with a surprised expression, and the text reads 'Random user casually reports 10+ bugs on 1st day of production release..' The background settings include a school hallway in the top panel and Bart's room in the bottom panel.

Two-panel meme featuring the rapper Drake. The top panel shows Drake wearing a red jacket with a displeased expression, holding his hand up as if rejecting something. The text next to him reads '2015: Test Driven Development.' The bottom panel shows Drake with a pleased expression, pointing approvingly towards the text '2024: AI Driven Development.' The background is yellow in both panels.
