The Reverse-Midas Touch
Today I was praised by one of my superiors for finding a deep-rooted bug in our product. This was about the third time my office was full of developers, all prodding at my computer, wondering what the hell the intern did to break their precious product. One of the founders of the product put his hand on my shoulder and told me I had the Reverse-Midas Touch. Instead of gold, everything I touch turns to shit. In the world of software testing, that's a compliment.
I wonder if he'll say the same thing when he sees me program.
