If you mean you're not a programmer, rad, good compliment. If you mean QA engineers aren't programmers... wtaf?
It's weird how some people admit they still test code by hand
All my tests are individually hand-crafted from sapient pearwood and proctored by a licensed pirate.

The "you learn limits in like, 9th grade" comment reminds me of this one: Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math. The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells he…

The touchscreen in my car is wonky (known issue, just haven't bothered to fix it), so when something goes sideways with the Bluetooth audio, turning the car off and back on is easily the fastest way to get my music back.
I had a Fiat Panda where the way to get power steering back after it flaked out was to do that. While driving.

#458One of my all time favorites. Can’t remember where I first read it (Quora?), but it’s currently my top Google hit for “balloon programmer project manager joke”. [0] ============ A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend. I would meet him half an hour ago, but I…
It sounds like they're in the middle of the Atlantic? Have I got it wrong, I must have because the programmer is supposed to be standing in a field.
Wait - are they dead and in heaven!?!

The joke is an explicit rejection of that particular trope, though.

In my car, I have to disconnect the battery when the cheap 30$ Chinese radio freezes.
I have a 37 year old car. The (classic looking) Bluetooth radio is by far the most complicated electronics on board. When I switch off the car, for safety, anti-theft and leaking, the battery is disconnected entirely with a key. The radio looses everything: paired devices, position of radio tuner, volume, BT/aux/radio mode etc. Whenever you start the car, you'll need to mash at least five buttons and knobs to either…
