Welcome Merleen! Siuan is such a good choice, there is so much to admire in her.

What kind of engineering do you do? I'm an engineer too so always interested!

Well met!
Right now I am a back-end engineer on Java (in mobile banking), but making my way forward to full-stack software engineering and also learning Go (because it is much faster than Java, so we must improvise) Planning to become a software architecture but have long years till then!

What about you?

That sounds like it'll make for a very interesting career. The skills are so versatile for different applications!

I'm in biomedical engineering. Currently working on machines that help to make the products. It keeps me engaged so enjoying it so far :D

Oh, it indeed is versatile and interesting, especially if you start to see art :D3

Biomedical engineering is something I have always found interesting too! And hope you keep enjoying it for years!:ha

YAY Welcome Merleen! I really hope you enjoy your time here with us :D Lyndo is an awesome friend for inviting you to join us. Or maybe horrible, depends how you look at it :look: We will see :laugh:

I am on the front-end web development career path, dabbling a bit into the back-end, but my favorite is the front-end for sure! I really wish you a great future with this endeavor! There is always new stuff to learn, so you won't get bored for sure :P

Lyndo... is a friend? No, he is a poison at the kiss of a lover! He is Sun in the coldest winter day! I see he already has poisoned you, but worry not, I am here and will save you all! :green2

And yes, front-end is really interesting too, but I prefer bugs that I can find myself to crashes that happen because of weird user moves, hehe

We released a machine with a custom software to production about 2 months ago. About 40 or so users who all have their unique habits. "What did you do before it crashed" is a standard part of our day now Our software guy is blessedly patient with us!

That's both amusing and sad to watch, kind of! Sometimes I see my co-workers want to yell "How dare you!" when they see what a user has done to cause a crash, because users sometimes can do very (and I mean it) fantastic things with the application not only testers, even an AI (which can run thousands of different tests in a minute) can't imagine

Well at least web is easy to predict, there is only so many things a user can do :laugh: We also don't let them have that many choices anyway :p
Oh, web itself is not so problematic at least! But I think mobile is more fun, interesting and... definitely problematic. Because I have seen a user who wanted to log in (and of course crashed) directly from closed screen (and I really have zero idea how they managed even made to that point)

We spent 3 years developing and testing it, but as is normal for a release people will absolutely find a way to break it :laugh: For back-end, is it standard for the developer to be trying to break it? Can users break it from interaction?

Uhm, no. Back-end is mostly about manupilating datas, so it is tested if the required data returns or the code does what it meant to, and how secure your code is. It is extremely rare back-end to cause a crash (stopping the application), which is really harder to achieve than not to :laugh: I know it is a brief explanation, because didn't want to confuse you, yet, can break it down and message you if you wish. But not responsible for a possible headache :D3

I think I get what you mean. We sent our code away to another company for testing that sounds a little like what you described. Not our speciality at all to do that part.
