Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, developer, stop fighting me. If the field is empty, the record will be discarded, and we need to handle that use case. Don't insist we wait until QA to think about it. DO IT NOW.
Hmmph. My manager complimented me yesterday on good management, and now one of the developers is making me all frustrated and making a liar of me.

After my kidneystone passed, I had a couple days of weird tingly somewhere inside. Figured it was a symptom of healing up, and as it went away I think I was right.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks for the input - that's helpful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Hmmph.
FWIW I think you're right and the developer is wrong. If you can anticipate a problem, don't wait for QA to fix it, fix it first and use QA to test if the fix worked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently we need to have another come-to-Jesus talk about not calling me at work for bullshit reasons.
That seems like the kind of thing you can easily blame on The Man, no?

Are you working in my office ita !? Because I thought you were in So Cal. But bless you for trying to get it right BEFORE it gets to QA.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It would help if she were more stoic so I knew when to take her seriously. But she cries about the tags in her shirt and every gas bubble and if her sleeves stick out of her jacket. You know?
Hec, Liv's vadge is terribly susceptible to minor irritation, as well. We still apply Desitin to the labia if there is any sign of redness. But you could be dealing with after effects of the UTI and yeast infection.
Yes, lady bits are horrible with the upkeep. Fun to drive, not fun to own. They're like Jaguars.

Good. I asked him to explain to me exactly why he doesn't want to handle this error, and he capitulated. Of course, he's left the mechanism of error handling to me, but that's way better than just losing the records in the ether. It's nice to know "But I don't wanna!" isn't a good enough rationale to state for a development decision.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I finally decided to pull up the holiday playlist and the first song to come on random... In A Bleak Midwinter. Hrmp. I think maybe I'll try again later. Or stick with the punk rock advent calendar.
