Normally I'm both the dev and QA... Today I was the dev, QA and the user... Of course, I'm paid only as a dev... But I'm blamed as all three... Ffs I can't do this anymore 😞

    Never QA your own stuff. Even if you get everything right you screw something up.

    At my last job I occasionally did small dev tasks. One time I had to add a third party service to the site. Now we actually had two sites running in this instance, and of course I added the cartridge to the wrong site. Like 10 minutes before I was supposed to review it with my boss and the PM, I noticed, pushed the meeting back until the afternoon with some excuse about wanting to test one more thing, and frantically moved the code.

    Everything went fine thankfully, and two weeks later I got asked how long it would take to add it to the other site. "Oh, not long..."

    git cherrypick ...

    @jbhelfrich please tell that to my manager... You can not properly QA your own stuff. By definition. If you didn't think to cover an edge case in your code, you won't think to cover it when doing QA... And that's just one of the problems... God dammit I hate this job
