So by this definition testers are annoying due to being super pedantic and precise.
Disagree, I think programmers are annoying in exactly the same way.
I'm a Dev with no QA so i just have to be neurotically pedantic so nobody goes to jail
Good
I think it's more about how testers always run into all the edge cases programmers don't think about
Can confirm, not even an official tester (just an open beta tester) and have acrued a reputation for having a legendary bug aura that can cause catastrophic and previously unseen edge cases to occur just by opening the software (game)
Ah this is a perfect example, thank you for providing a sample "programmer response". Lol
I mean, no, the tester didn't say anything wrong here, and all of those (and more) are conditions one must take into account if one were to write a piece of software without errors
It's never about whether the tester was wrong, its whether we really needed to spend 30 minutes in a 45 minute meeting about project timelines discussing it.
No, the meeting could have been an email
