Early in my QA career, I was assigned a bug to test, a minor fix in one of the key modules of our enterprise portal. I opened the application, focused only on the specific scenario mentioned in the ticket, confirmed that the issue was resolved, and confidently marked it as "Done" A while later, my team lead reviewed the same fix but took a different path to reach the same functionality. Within minutes, he uncovered a new issue that had been introduced as a side effect of the fix. He turned to me and asked, "Did you check this part?" "Yes," I replied, "I tested it." But what I really meant was: I only checked what I was told to check. Watching him test it in front of me - navigating different routes, trying other workflows - I realized how limited my approach was. That bug fix had impacted a different module, something I hadn't even considered. That's when it clicked: ✅ Fix validation = Sanity Testing

CodeIgniter is the lightweight PHP framework that refuses to die. While Laravel and Symfony dominate the feature-rich end of the spectrum, CodeIgniter wins when you want small footprint, sharp performance, and straightforward control. This article explains how CodeIgniter 4 (CI4) is put together: the request lifecycle, routing, controllers, models, the database layer, views, filters (middleware), configuration, and the Spark CLI. No war stories - just a clear mental model so you can read a CI project and immediately know where to look and what happens next. If you're new to CI or returning from CI3, this is the 1-page refresher you need before diving into code.

It was a regular testing day, and I was focused on reproducing a bug that had just been reported. I carefully followed the steps, ready to log my observations. But as I navigated through the app, I accidentally clicked on something unrelated. To my surprise, the application behaved oddly - and I had just uncovered a completely new bug. This wasn't part of my test case. No automation had flagged it. But this is exactly how real users might behave: exploring unpredictably, clicking where they shouldn't, or rushing through workflows in unexpected ways. That's when I realized the hidden value of ad hoc testing.

The Reflection We Didn't Expect. I once asked an AI to rewrite a cover letter for me. What it returned wasn't just polished. It was me, but sharper. It got my tone, priorities, and even word choice better than I would have. That was the first time I realized: AI isn't just a tool - it's a mirror.
