F5 - The Wonder Key

I’ve had the pleasure of working on a part of our website that my boss was acceptance testing

We had a session today at work where my boss was acceptance testing part of our website while I was working on it. Whenever I introduced a bug or a premature save caused syntax error he would notice it within a minute. At the point he noticed the error I would usually already have seen and corrected it, so our conversations for half the day went like

Boss:

“Jakob, there’s an error!”

Me:

“Yeah, press F5”

Boss:

“It’s gone!”

Me:

“I know”

I present to you F5 – The wonder key that enables bosses to fix every single bug with a single keypress.
