F5 - The Wonder Key

Journal entry
January 26, 2004

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.
