    I was a QA tester for a mobile game company back when feature phones had games. Some of the shit was silly like jumping against the left wall 300 times would crash the game, or rapidly putting the phone into and out of a faraday cage would crash the game.

    Any time we crashed the phone things got spicy, and we had special instructions to follow if we found a way to disrupt the micro cell in the office.

      I also did that (and some development) and hated that basically every phone behaved differently, even sibling models from the same manufacturer. J2ME was a nice idea but every phone had different glitches. The emulators were shit. So we had almost all models of all major brands there and had to test everything on all of them.
