Search - "programmer tester"

So, there's this big company in Poland with its name starting with C and having CEO famous for saying that every software developer can be replaced with a finite number of college students.
They recently lost a HUGE government contract and so stories of people working there came to light. My two personal favourites:
1. A tester who has been fired for finding too many bugs and mistakes in their product. He was also told that bugs are to be found by clients on production, not in-house.
2. A programmer who was yelled at by his team leader for "wasting time" on code reviews instead of typing the code. He was also told he hadn't been hired to criticise other people code.
God, I'm so grateful I don't work there.20 -

In our game, we have occasional problems w/ IAPs where for whatever reason a purchased IAP doesn't get redeemed, which leads to players requiring aid from the support team.
On our end, a tester reported an issue where he had such problems. 100% reproduction rate, mentioned the affected account to be safe.
Caught the following conversation between two leads regarding that report:
Test Lead 0: Upon rechecking the issue we've discovered that the issue can't be reproduced on our end. We have however confirmed that the one account mentioned in the report is affected.
Test Lead 1: Since we can't reproduce the issue, should we close it?
So, yeah... why bother a poor programmer w/ this issue that is 100% reproducible but w/ one account affected only. Definitely zero chance of fixing at least one instance where this issue might occur.

The programmer day is the 256th day of the year (nerdish mind-blow). Why the QA/tester day was yesterday (9/9) I have no idea.3

Programmers & Testers share a very special bond ❤️
They always argue & disagree on countless things but no matter what they are always there for each other. 🥰
