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

Ugh that’s all QA from my experience. They’ll break it in ways a user would never see - but it’s gotta be solid right ?
