This is your reminder to test in production because sometimes things get through.

"We tested for X, Y, and Z. We did not test for X times Y, divided by Z because no logical person would do that." Have you met users? You make it idiot proof and someone builds a better idiot. 🤷🏼

I will always cherish the look on my ex's face when I was testing a game he was making. I drove the little car up a palm tree, over some leaves, and then dropped out of the walls containing the world. I am vicious when it comes to testing.

You. Me. Same. I had an engineer we contracted who went out of his way to have me test things because I always found some oddball issue. I like breaking stuff. Probably why I liked doing security testing. "Oh your system is secure? Cool. Don't mind me overwriting your db then." I miss those days.
