incidentally, I feel a lot worse about my QA work now -_- sigh.

but I know it's not really that. it's just how it feels sometimes.

the reality of QA is that we're like imaginary predator/prey cycles being done to help software evolve

if QA doesn't find a given weakness of your software

you can bet sure as shit users will

or vandals

and then the real shitshow begins

QA is like checking your look in the mirror before you head out: good to do, even if it hurts sometimes
