thwartedThe 7-Year Developer Crossroad
I don't know if it's so much intuition as it is luck (or, heh, being unlucky). I seem to have an uncanny knack for spotchecking one thing, and while I'm doing that, uncovering a bunch of other problems because something in the things I've chosen to spot check has an association with something that looks wrong. Like, I'll spot check a database update, and I'll display all columns even though I am only looking at one or two. It just so happens that in the rows I chose to check, another field is obviously not being validated right.
I've also experienced some weird premonitions, like I'll suggest a change be made, based on some trend I may be seeing but can't articulate, and then a few days later the very thing I suggest should be changed needs to be changed, usually under time pressure.
I wish I could bottle and sell this, but I'm sure it's closer to being unlucky than having a superpower (like Rob McKenna from HHGTTG), and no one would want it.
