Memes
As a tester, I’ve heard it all — but the classic “just 20 more minutes” from devs hits different.
Fast forward 8 hours later:
I’m still refreshing the page,
Staring at the same 503 error like it’s part of my test data set,
Hoping something… anything… will load.
Deployments? Broken.
Sanity? Questionable.
Hope? Rapidly declining.
But hey — at least the error page loads faster than the app! 🤣

Classic words from Ben Dowen during an episode of This Week in Testing.

What I saw last night will haunt your Jenkins logs forever. May your coffee be strong and your endpoints be stable.
