Programmer Humor

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

So by this definition testers are annoying due to being super pedantic and precise.

Disagree, I think programmers are annoying in exactly the same way.

Really have to start with a definition of "now"

Physicist: "assuming a spherical year ..."

Didn't even consider leap years. Smh

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.

You could also simplify by saying that assuming neither of them are dead, at some point while he is 44 she will be 42. Whether or not she is actually his sister seems to be irrelevant, she was stated to be his sister, so regardless of biological data, it is being presented as a fact assumption.

The space stuff is not currently possible and can be disregarded as well.

import birthday;

let myAge1 = 4;
let sisterAge1 = 2;
let myAge2 = 44;

let sisterAge2 = birthday.deriveAge(myAge1, sisterAge1, myAge2);

print(sisterAge2);

Any bugs should be reported upstream. Please open a tracking issue to sync changes with eventual upstream fixes.

Now that’s thinking like a lawyer!

I'm a programmer and my answer would be more like the tester's answer.

But okay I also used to be a tester so this comment is probably invalid.

Managers when a tester does this in a planning meeting, asking for more time to write better teats: 😠

Managers when a staff level engineer does this in a post-fuckup root cause analysis meeting telling everyone what went wrong: 🤤

Managers when the tester points out it wouldn't have happened if tests for it had gotten written:

Ugh, this is what you get when there's no AC.

That's a good tester.
In my experience coders usually make absolutely terrible testers, testing only for the most inane case, or just positive cases (ie, it does the nominal case without bursting into fire).

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.

Also, we first have to define more precisely what 'being 2' means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person 'ages' with 1/4 of the speed.

[Test]
public void Sister_IsAstronaut() 
{

This may be why I hated math.

Love this, 100% accurate. QA people are amazing, protect us from ourselves in so many ways we didn’t even think of.

The programmer's answer?

We don't support that use case.
