QA's Friday Afternoon Surprise for the Dev Team
Description
A two-part meme about the adversarial relationship between Quality Assurance (QA) and developers. The top section contains bold, black text on a white background that reads: 'QA HEADING HOME ON FRIDAY 5PM AFTER DROPPING 30 BUGS ON DEVS LIKE : HERE'S YOUR WEEKEND PLANS, ENJOY 😈'. The bottom section features a well-known image from the animated show 'Family Guy,' where the character Peter Griffin is dressed as Heath Ledger's Joker from 'The Dark Knight.' He has green hair and smeared clown makeup, and is walking away from fiery explosions in a parking garage while holding a remote detonator. This meme humorously portrays the QA team as agents of chaos, gleefully ruining the developers' weekend by reporting a large number of bugs right at the end of the workday on a Friday, a scenario that is painfully relatable in many software development cultures

The only thing more terrifying than a Friday deployment is a Friday bug report from a QA engineer who's clearly channeling their inner Joker
If only those 30 tickets came with runbooks - because right now the on-call playbook is basically ‘become Batman’
The real deployment pipeline: QA finds critical bugs at 4:59 PM Friday, dev team deploys hotfix at 2 AM Saturday, and the PM schedules a 'quick sync' for Sunday to discuss why the sprint velocity is down
The classic QA-to-dev handoff at 4:59 PM Friday: 'Found 30 P0s in prod, but don't worry - they've been there since Tuesday. I just wanted to make sure you had something meaningful to do this weekend. Also, I'll be unreachable until Monday. Good luck with that rollback!'
QA's parting gift: A Jira board fuller than a prod Redis queue during Black Friday - happy hunting, devs
Pro tip: if QA can file 30 bugs at 5pm Friday, your SDLC needs a release freeze and triage SLA - CAP theorem says you can have the weekend or the bug backlog, never both
QA’s 4:59pm, 30-ticket drop turns the sprint backlog into an incident queue - suddenly every P2 is a hotfix without a change window
Idk why do IT fellas not know you can restrict your working to the working hours Comment deleted
Guys, guys, a question... Before creating an app for users to use, how can u know that the others need that app? Plus, how can u know that this app has never been made or any similar apps like that be available on market? Comment deleted
I have the same problem Comment deleted
1. The fact that something exists doesn’t mean that you can’t make it better. If you can resell the tool that exists — means that there’s demand. Make it better and get rich. 2. If you want to make something completely new, you’d have to start looking for a problem worth solving (aka it bothers people enough that they’ll pay for it). Assuming you are a programmer of sorts, it’s likely that you won’t be able to do this bit yourself— what you need is a domain expert who is knowledgeable in some industry to a point where he can see the gaps in what the industry needs and knows how to fill them. You should cooperate with this person, audit the problems, design a minimal viable solution and see if you can sell it. 3. If you are like myself, you like to code but you would rather kill yourself than spend your time setting up Google ads, seeking promotional partnerships, and do SMM. For that reason, you need a sales guy who’ll take this upon himself. TLDR; 1. Try to make an existing tool better. See if you can resell the existing tool before you even make a prototype to test demand. 2. To make something new, find a domain expert who knows his industry’s problems. 3. Find a sales guy who is going to sell your solution. Comment deleted
Many thanks, dear Victor. I'm going to do some research. Comment deleted
I'll be thankful if someone gives me some ideas and suggestions about it ❤️ Comment deleted
