A test guy

Jerry Weinberg’s rule of three came into play today.

I went to the kitchen at work to get a cup of coffee, but all the coffee pots were empty. So I set up the machine to brew more coffee, but I mistakenly pushed the “brew a half pot” button instead of the “brew a full pot” button. And I didn’t notice that fact until the coffee stopped flowing out of the machine and the pot was only half full.

Option 1: ignore it. Just pour a cup of coffee from the half-full pot, and remember next time to push the full pot button.

Option 2: start over. Pour the half-pot of coffee into the sink, toss the grounds, and start from scratch, which would result in a full pot of coffee sitting at the machine.
