TEST-DOG
The QA Scapegoat
Others write the bugs, you take the blame.
Dimension Pattern
It's not that you won't work overtime — it depends on the situation, mainly whether there's free dinner.
Normal hours, occasional crunch, not quite death-march territory.
A little ambition, but not much — enough to cover the mortgage.
Good enough is good enough — we're not launching rockets here.
An unresolved bug ruins your appetite — you'll die on that hill.
You know you should pay it down, but it always gets pushed to the next sprint.
On the surface it's "got it," internally it's maximum roasting.
The team's emotional backbone — everyone comes to you with problems first.
Wearing the mask most of the time, occasionally letting a genuine curse slip.
Occasional anxiety, but nothing a bubble tea can't fix.
Even when your code works, you suspect the compiler has a bug.
Occasionally browsing job listings, just peeking at what's out there.
AI? Let's wait and see — let others be the guinea pigs first.
Forced to learn new tech because the boss said so — powering through reluctantly.
Career plan? Let's survive today first.
Personality Profile
The following is a stylized description of this personality type, written in the original author's uniquely humorous voice.
Congrats, you've become [The QA Scapegoat]. Others write the bugs, you take the blame — the ultimate fall guy. Test feedback is always "this has a problem," and your reply is always "reproduced, fixing now." Most bugs aren't even yours, but the blame always lands on you. Advice: next time just say "suggest checking with the developer" — don't take every bullet. Even scapegoats have limits.
