Yeah, I'm really made for testing. Totally fits my Software Quality Nazi persona.

I also finally feel less stupid for having my kids so young because I have a cool life, now, and lots of energy and mental focus. I live like a 20 year-old, in my 40s.

And my kids mow the lawn and vacuum the floors and prepare dinner. 😂

Don't interrupt, dears. Mommy is rage-coding.

with vibe coding so popular the quality of software is set to slide even further so it's great to have a new guardian of quality

I just tried my hand at vibe-coding and now the whole codebase is a dumpster fire that I get to put out. 😂 I learned some new stuff, at any rate.

But I am totally convinced about the importance of proper testing, now. AI accidentally deleted mature features and removed functions halfway through a rewrite and now I can piece it all together. Some stuff is also completely garbled and I'm like, I don't even know what this thing is. 🤔

I might just roll back to a previous commit and slowly reinstate the changes more carefully, but it's probably easier and faster to just lean into it and tidy up.

I pretended to be a cool kid, for a few days, but I guess I'll stay a bit more retro. I can read the code, so messy code totally bothers me, even if it works correctly. I CAN'T READ THAT SHIT.

-- me trying to do some changes to a service I wrote 5 years ago and is running ever since

All legacy code, evah. 😂
