As a former tester, why is it that every time we got a new build it was always available Friday at 5pm?

Even though I'm sure this isn't the case in the picture,  I kind of saw the tester as trying to get to the developer and save the day by letting them know all the bugs in the software so that they can fix it before the managers and clients get to them.  See +Amanda Blain , the helpful tester to the rescue. =)

Yep when something goes wrong its the devs fault, if the project is successful the manager gets the praise

+Alvin Quidem the testers are trying to be the first to the scene so they can tell everyone about the DEFECT!! When the bug makes it into production (ie the tester didn't find it) the picture will show the testers lying down asleep and the managers and clients in the lead.

The Developer needs to go independent and get a backer (an Elephant).  Tigers don't match up to Elephants.

Very true, of course — but i always thoht of myself more as a tortoise.. proud, very calm, very patient, always analytical, confident, wise, tough shelled (impervious to all the hype, and teeth? what teeth?), intimately aware of everything that trips-up everyone running around, always accused of being too slow, and very nearly always right.

Yeah, I was throwing testers a bone there +Daniel Mitchell .  Most of my testers are pretty much asleep and don't seem to find easy to spot bugs.  I rely more on my automated unit tests to save me.  When a bug is found after release, the testers are usually right with the clients and managers complaining to me on how could we have shipped with such a known bug.  I've learned to just take the brunt of it and just SMH.  As a developer, you will rarely win that fight.  =)

Add anyone creating something. There's no patience for creation in the business world. Even though that's one of the most essential parts of business.
