Every developer knows the pain of a flaky test. It fails sometimes, passes others. It feels random, but you know it’s not. There’s always an environmental factor, a race condition, a hidden state.
After logging thousands of bugs, I realized the Universe operates on the same principle. We call its "flaky tests" coincidences.
I applied my entire QA toolkit—from writing assertions to isolating variable scope—to answer one question: Is reality just a poorly-optimized codebase?
Key takeaways from the post:
- The Observational Bias Bug: How our consciousness acts as a logger, but only for certain severity levels.
- State Management: Why your personal "rollback" moments are a feature, not a bug.
- The Universe’s S.M.A.R.T. Goals: What the ultimate product roadmap for existence might be.
This is a deep dive for anyone in tech who believes there is order behind the chaos. Let's debate this in the comments!
