That’s a good tester.
In my experience coders usually make absolutely terrible testers, testing only for the most inane case, or just positive cases (ie, it does the nominal case without bursting into fire).

That’s a whole lot more wholesome than most of what goes on in the Stack Overflow arenas.

Oh even better. I manage Kong (an API manager) and 90% of my time these days is explaining illiterate devs that no, Kong is fine, it’s their shitty API crashing. Or better, their shitty HAproxy they don’t know how to configure. FML.

You are thinking it’s easy because you only think of e == E, but I’ll let you look up collation and accents and, you know, Unicode and let you think about it.

There is nothing trivial about case sensitivity, except in trivial cases.

Glorious. I remember some hilarious nonsense in an API where the devs I worked with hadn’t known they could just use boolean in JSON and had badly implemented it through strings, but this… This is amazing!

I want SVN little explorer icons back! I want to forget Jazz RTC.

Oh I got a N+3 involved.
Not my fault but I was the only guy who could solve. That was a fun three weeks of daily Is It Fixed Yet meetings…

Oh shit my bad, I mixed Ng and Nguyen, thanks for correcting me.
Also that’s hilarious, I’m totally trying that one with the lads Monday, they’re gonna love it :D

IaaS Instructions as a Service

Want to know if a value is odd? Boy have we got the API for you!

Just show them the IOCCC why don’t you?

Like the Vietnamese name? So… “Wininks” ?

Please no! Not another fucking reverse proxy. I can’t take it anymore T_T

I mean every time I hear about the damn thing it’s because it’s been misconfigured and is causing some fucking ruckus. The whole thing is cursed so jinx really feels appropriate where I’m standing from.

My colleagues were right?!
But of course they pronounce the “ine” as in brine (we are French), which is what really hurts my ears, ugh.

Haha, fair enough! I’m glad you do!
If you believed the stereotypes, you’d think we’re the only ones, sometimes :)

I would happily pull out my old dictionary and grammar books, for sure!

My colleagues have fancy terminal applications with fancy backgrounds, so I thought the reflection was a cool frosted glass transparency effect, at first.

And with the amount of memes being sent across throughout the day, I reckon if it were silly videos, they would eat that up.

Also : watch a video while that command runs? “Fuck yeah”, they’d say!

Nah, just that WinDev thing.
On the plus side we have actual holidays and good luck bothering me outside of hours, haha!

It should have been Latin so at least you could feel like a magician or something

We call it tréma. Aka diaeresis. It explicitly tells you to pronounce two vowels near each other separately.
A typical use is to indicate a normally silent vowel must be read out. For example “maïs” (MA-EE-S’) is completely different from “mais” (MAY).
