In my experience, it has been testers who are also developers who wince,
even if they haven't coded for the product they are testing.
Testers who only test usually don't react one way or the other. They
just file their bug reports and move on.
We part-time testers who don't code are the ones who crow, chortle, and
dance jigs.

Kat Nagel,
remembering fondly the software engineer who bet me $100 that I couldn't
break *his* application. First data entry field was Name. I entered mine
directory style, and the database choked on the comma.
