The engineer in the joke should have ordered some Bobby Tables for dessert.

This story is a lie.

There's no "computer icon". Dragging the System disk to trash ejects it on a classic Mac. If you burrow down into System, you can try deleting system files… which are locked and can't be deleted.

You can test this yourself on Infinite Mac

The story seems to be referencing the first time apple had regular people try it which may have been in a focus group or at some kind of publicity event. If this did happen I'm sure they made safeguards against it before selling it

I would be absolutely amazing at this job, I do this naturally, I am inescapably an agent of chaos.

QA today seems to just be releasing software in whatever state and maybe fixing it later.

QA in large companies seems to be first to get outsourced or at best, contacted into temp positions. First to get mixed, too. It's the "skill-less labor" of the tech world.

In other words, blame the idiots in charge for not really investing in QA lol

I'm a good enough software engineer that this isn't true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

I'm so glad you can automate QA jobs

Automated tests are cool, but they definitely aren't a panacea in place of humans
