@QueenMorgana aww thanks. Does my insomniac self good.
-
@linuxxx I have wanted to try something like this out for a while. Glad I did.
-
At first I was not going to read this because I really hate emojis but then I saw @queenmorgana ( rare awatar of a girl found on devRant) getting excited in comment section so I read it and I do believe without this emoticons this post won't be as good.
-
@aitkotw yeah, I don't use emojis super often. At least not on my rants. But I thought this would be greatly improved with emojis.
-
@projektaquarius @aitkotw the emojis were used as I feel they were intended: gave more description to the story than words would've
-
@QueenMorgana was expecting your reply (since I tagged you), well finally I am gonna get good sleep tonight.
-
@meowth wait . . . Your QA routinely has stuff catching on fire? Where do you work? Is there an opening?
-
@linuxxx I know right? What a time we live in. #emoji

He only declined so you couldn’t use it against him the next time your tests fail...
Here’s the hypothetical in the TE’s mind...
TE: Yeah, that ticket is coming back your way. There’s just one thing wrong with it.
Me: rly? Remember how you passed that test because the bench burned into flames.
TE: Yeah, why?
Me: *lights phone on fire*
In this situation, me is you but you’re also now a mobile developer like me if you weren’t already. -
@jamescodesthing luckily I don't work in that guy team then 😎
Seriously though, IIRC it was a hardware issue. Someone fucked up the rewiring on the bench and didn't document what they had done. According to the paperwork the TE was the last one to use it and the paperwork said it was still in his configuration. -
@projektaquarius this is why we document the changes we make to the test bench.
-
@jamescodesthing pshaw we don't need no documentation. It's only a several thousand dollar piece of equipment that needs custom parts to which there are no spares.
-
@projektaquarius is the only engineer who knows how to fix it also a part timer in Asia somewhere?
Because if he can't tell people how you broke it you're alright 😂
Vendor we('re forced to) work with, as we share a client. This is in their stylesheet. Fuck SEO best practices...
This is a fun conversation I had:
Test Engineer: 😑 The test bench burst into flames.
Me: 😪😲 Do what now?
TE: 😐 The test bench burst into flames. It made a pretty impressive fire ball.
Me: 😮 . . . How are you so calm about this?
TE: 😐 Well it's not on fire now.
Me: 😶 Good point.
TE:😧 made me mad as hell though.
Me: 😕 why's that?
TE: 😬 Cuz I only had one damn step left in that test procedure and it was to turn the damn test bench off.
Me: 🤔 Correct me if I'm wrong but the test bench is off is it not?
TE: 😐 Well yeah.
Me: 🤔 and you caused it to be turned off by your actions no?
TE: 😕 . . . yeah . . .
Me:🤔 sounds like you turned it off to me.
TE: 😒
Me: 🙂
TE: 😐
Me: ☺
TE: 😑
Me: 😎
TE: 😐 but it won't turn on again.
Me: 🤔 do you have a requirement to be able to turn it on again after you turn it off?
TE: 😑 It's implied.
Me: 😐 not what I asked
TE: 😧 No not explicitly.
Me: 😎 sounds like you completed the test procedure.
TE: 😑
Me: 😎
TE: 😑
Me: 😎
TE: 😧 that's not how it works.
Me: 😎 doesn't it?
TE: 😑 No.
Me:😎
TE: *walks away* 😧😧😧
Me: *turns back to computer* well I was just trying to help YOU out 😒
I am the best at interpersonal communication.
