    Fails to consider the case in which the 2-year-old sister is now male.

      Still logs the issue

      Dev sets status to won’t do

      P1 production issue: Exactly what I logged 2 months ago just written out worse

        I was once on a team that would filter out staging-only bugs in bug triage meetings. The team would only ever fix a bug if it was found in production. It was exactly as foot-gun as it sounds.

          Okay I think the term ‘foot-gun’ is supposed to evoke the image of someone loading a gun and pointing it at their own foot. I can’t help trying to picture a gun thats operated by a foot. Like a mech suit with a robot leg that also fires massive tank shattering shells when you do a roundhouse kick as a human operator. Or a veteran prosthetic leg that’s also a rifle when you kick it the right way.

          The brain rot seeps just a little bit more every time I see the term ‘foot-gun’ please help.

            Yeah, that’s about the level of ordinance I’m talking about, just aim that gun-foot at the other gun-foot and you’ve got the right picture 😆

    If you were 4 and now you are 44 then you might be an integer variable. If sister is also a variable, we don’t know when she was allocated. She might also be an integer constant in which case she’s arguably immortal.

    This all assumes all years are measured by the same orbit with no mixing and matching planets or space habitats.

    The standard earth year had not been adopted system wide

    Based on the only comparison we have, the OP is twice the age of their sister. so the sister is now 44/2, or 22. Easy problem.

    I design software, another guy builds it, then I test it. I seem to have a really good intuition for ferreting out the edgiest of edge cases and generating bugs. Pretty sure he hates my guts.

      Project Managers and software designers are hated for their “designing”. The testing is always very welcome.

    I used to have a QA job. Can confirm, this is the soup in my head. That’s why I was good at testing. Also, that’s not your sister. That’s your trans brother, who we also love. See?

    Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.

      Nope, a good developer asks exactly the first thing with the birthdays. If you don’t have proper data it’s impossible to give the correct answer. This is the difference from an experienced developer to a junior.

      A developer with a QA mindset is never a bad thing in my opinion. It makes sure issues are fixed earlier and saves time (and for management, money)

      How are edge cases supposed to be covered if the developer can’t imagine them? It would save SO MUCH time if everyone were as detail oriented and creative as you.
