Frog and Toad are Cofounders

&gt; Toad deleted tests until the CI server went green.<p>One of my undergrad volunteers is learning Python. I&#x27;ve had to teach him that just because the code runs, it doesn&#x27;t mean that it is correct.<p>These are wonderfully painful to read.

These stories are so well-written! Really captures the original style well. They remind me a bit of the koans from The Codeless Code. The simplicity of the story obscures its &quot;lessons&quot;, allowing you to apply the story to your own experiences and draw your own insights.

I hadn&#x27;t heard of the source material (perhaps more&#x2F;only well-known in the US?) but I presume it refers to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Frog_and_Toad" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Frog_and_Toad</a><p>Some insightful parables either way, though!

This is one of the most delightful things I&#x27;ve seen come out of the tech satire world. It&#x27;s not snarky or mean, it&#x27;s not painting a target on anyone, it&#x27;s just really meaningful and well done. I&#x27;ll definitely send these to my team, I think they&#x27;re really accessible stories about common problems in tech culture. Please keep writing them!

It wasn&#x27;t at all obvious to me, but a random click revealed that each paragraph on this page actually links to a full (short) story...

Sometimes I wish the euphemism &quot;grooming the backlog&quot; was required to be called &quot;making a wish list&quot;. I guess that wouldn&#x27;t sound managerial enough.

&gt;Frog and Toad went back to their alma mater and began to look for an engineer in the tall grass beside the computer science building.<p>Pokemon reference?

&gt;Toad reviewed his team’s backlog and marked 80% of the open tickets as CRITICAL or BLOCKER.<p>Ouch.

That&#x27;s probably the best thing I&#x27;ve ever read on Medium.

These read slightly better if you read the oldest ones first.

I&#x27;m proud to say that one of the authors of this (and the one who apparently was the instigator) was my Operating Systems partner back in college. :D

This is simply delightful. Thank you.

Couldn&#x27;t stop thinking how much I wanted to bitch slap these amphibians all throughout the read. So well written.

Just perfect.
