Bitch Tits McGee

Nicknames

One of my nicknames for Travis is “Bitch Tits McGee” because, well, I don’t know. Anyway, I’m working on an online store for a corporate client and wanted to show off a very slick shopping cart implementation – so I sent my user name and password to Travis and let him poke around.

Obviously, he immediately changed my “customer”‘s name to “Bitch Tits McGee” so I was greeted by “Hello, Bitch Tits!” when I logged in myself. I changed my profile back to Matthew, it showed up as such on the Profile page, but it still greeted me with “Hello, Bitch Tits!” – I went to see what was wrong.

Those uninterested in programming should skip this paragraph

Turns out I had stuck the first name into a session variable when I started developing and had been using that the whole time – I hadn’t even planned on the greeting for the final product. Anyway, it was obviously a stupid idea to do things that way, so I changed it to make calls to the DB instead.

User Testing

The point of all this is the importance of user testing and how important it is to application development. Also, it’s HILARIOUS that I found a bug in my system thanks to the help of someone calling me Bitch Tits McGee.
