I’m scared to ask, but is there context to this?

Are you writing The Testicle Monologues? I was captivated, when’s the off-Broadway premiere!

Mostly farting. Also during sex.

Same. I don’t think he is my brother.

The guy who has to pick them up is livid, I’m sure.

I’ll make a bold prediction that we won’t have 25 months this year either. Maybe next century.

A more serious answer - it depends greatly on where I’m working and what we’re doing.

I’ve worked in places where we’d receive outsource work. Usually we’d get fairly detailed instructions about what to do and what to avoid, that were discussed between our PMs/architects and the client, including tests for example that were agreed upon. You were supposed to follow those to the letter, but the most important part was that you needed to deliver quickly because the customer wanted to keep costs to a minimum. “Useless questions” (from their perspective) were seriously frowned upon, so if it wasn’t specified, the expected approach was to do whatever was quicker.

This occasionally lead to situations where their QC/UATs would identify issues with their business rules, but as long as it was compliant with the requirements we received, it would then come back to be changed (at additional cost, depending on how big the change needed to be).

Once accepted though, job done, grab your next work item and move on. Months later they could run into a situation like the one in the printer and come back asking for a fix, but very likely that would go into the CR bucket and a quote would be provided.

Of course if you’re working for a company that actually cares about what they’re building, the philosophy is completely different. If I’m working on our products, then I build a good understanding of what I’m working on, and I’m expected to flag any concerns or issues I encounter even before it reaches QC.

That said, I’ve never heard of a developer ever being criminally charged other than intentional misconduct - like, in the world. Look at the IBM Queensland Health payroll system fiasco, I’m not sure anyone was even fired, let alone prosecuted.

Or even the Boeing 737-MAX crashes - how do you build a system that pitches the nose down repeatedly, without limitations? Those guys who worked on the MCAS software would 100% have considered a scenario where an angle-of-attack sensor would provide bad data, and the consequences of repeated trim, but alas - 2 planes crashed, 350 people died, and what are the consequences? Some payouts…

Look around you, you’ll find “unrestricted fields in a public-facing app” (from a practical perspective) everywhere. Shrek’s script has what, less than 50k characters? That’s nothing, you can fit that in a Facebook post and still have more than enough to write a full movie review.

Where this would likely raise flags is when somebody decided that it needs to be printed, but that could be a different team, maybe outsourced, maybe after the main app was developed, maybe it’s just some “plug-and-play” system that also handles bulk printing jobs, who knows.

100% accurate, though vibe coding is optional.

If I have a set of requirements that don’t mention any type of restriction, then I won’t arbitrarily add one - as far as I know, I could be breaking intended functionality. If I’m invested in this, I’ll add it to the list of stuff that needs clarification, otherwise it’s gonna ship as specified, and eventually someone’s gonna file a change request.

The waiters still check, for some reason. I always order a cola here, and still get “is pepsi ok?”

Says the guy holding the fucking jerrycan.

There’s a massive cloud of smoke coming from the woods, we caught a guy coming out from there, we’re asking him to show us if that gasoline jerrycan-shaped object in the plastic bag that he’s holding is in fact a gas jerrycan, but he’s still refusing.

And you come out from the toilets “but how do you know that there’s a fire”?

I wonder why this isn’t a class action. Maybe they thought they could win more this way?

I wonder what’s gonna happen if other courts find different verdicts, or different compensation values…

It’s like they could create a socialist party, so that America actually has at least one left-leaning party.

No, the mainline Democratic party is nowhere near being left wing.

He’s much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.

What are you talking about, what’s a dildo? That’s mom’s figurine collection, she likes them very much and plays with them all the time.

The first two are the most definite reason I’ve killed a lot of plants.

A friend came over and nearly screamed “you should be watering these every 2 WEEKS NOT 2 DAYS!!”.

But what do you mean that 5m from a window is “too dark”? I can see fine…

Pff.

Just caption an Airbus. Assuming you’re in flight, you just need the buttons to engage cat III auto landing, make wings bigger, make wheels stick out, and brakes after you land.

What OS is this? Don’t recognise that daemon, nor a tool called ance, but I can get behind the chown alias.

You were right, this is so much fun!
