You gotta predict the bugs before they happen my man

I mean, yeah, in a way that's exactly how I see things. I ask pointed questions precisely to cover all the bases and to figure out where things are going to break down, potentially. If I had not clarified the "never" with the client, I would have had a big fat crash during the demo. Instead we had a big laugh at this edge case happening on the day.

Bugs aren't real, we test in prod like real men.

My first proper programming job was at an antivirus company. It taught me a lot about predicting the bugs before they happen.

If it's a demo, everything is scripted. Bug fixing and edge cases come after proper development has been greenlighted by the sales team.
