    I frequently had to test other developer’s code, the fucking amount of times I heard that shit.

    “Your code ain’t working”

    “It’s working for me”

    “Well it isn’t working for me, did you actually test it”

    “Yes”

    “On anything else than your own PC?”

    “It was working fine for me”

    “It fucking isn’t, look!”

    “…huh”

    For fuck sake just take like 1 minute to press on a frikking button to see if it actually does work.

    Glad I’m not doing that shit anymore.

      Im my defense, I did test it. It was working for me.

      But then someone else touched it without understanding it or flipped the truth value returned by one of the functions used by my code without properly fixing the call sites.

      Edit: or they had a merge conflict and they don’t know how to correctly resolve those.
