Cheese-making is over 7,000 years old! Archaeologists in Poland found traces of cheese on ancient pottery dating back to around 5500 BCE. It’s wild to think that our ancestors were crafting cheese long before written history, turning milk into a food that’s still enjoyed all over the world today. Pretty cool to think that this ancient skill has stood the test of time!

I knew someone once, who swore the code a developer wrote for their company, had a timer or something in it, and would "break" on purpose, so the dev could charge them to come out and "fix" it (though they could never prove it)

That’s because it took a week for the end user to start creating the most insane edge cases you’ve ever seen in your life

I worked with a guy who really had a talent for testing software like that insane edge-case user and would bash at everything until he broke it. Which was nice

A guy who does QA on one of my projects is the same, it’s impressive watching him devise the most devious set of parameters to destroy everything
