On the left, you can see child autism diagnoses.
On the right, you can see states with policies that give schools more money when their students are diagnosed with autism.
When these policies pass, autism diagnoses increase by almost 25% in one year!

Fuzz testing is an absolute must for any database (or any sophisticated system/program whatsoever). Trying to compose the edge-cases manually is tedious, hard to review, and is likely to still live a lot uncovered. Randomised tests are easier to develop, maintain and run.

If you step on the mound and you don't believe you're at least a little bit invincible, then your physical/mental preparation probably wasn't good enough.

Whether you’re an 8 year old with great mechanics or an MLB pitcher throwing upper 90s in a bullpen, somebody will always find something negative to say.
Nothing you do will ever be good enough.
Eat Arbys.
