Every software architecture diagram I have ever seen looks like a medieval fortress.
There are concentric circles labeled Zero Trust Architecture, three layers of web application firewalls, an identity provider that requires your fingerprint and a blood sample, and a database buried under sixteen layers of AES-256 encryption.
And then someone tests what happens when you upload an avatar that is a 4-gigabyte zip bomb named cat.png.
The fortress catches fire.
The Philosophy of the Hammer
Little Tester was born out of a very simple, slightly sarcastic realization: developers build the door, but users test the walls.
When architects design systems, they assume: 1. The user will read the prompt. 2. The payload will be valid JSON. 3. The user has good intentions. 4. Nobody will press the submit button 4,000 times in 2 seconds while unplugging their Ethernet cable.
Little Tester does not assume any of these things. Little Tester assumes that if you leave a gap between the curb and the sidewalk, someone will drive a forklift through it.
"Why pick the lock when you can unbolt the doorframe?"
A Light, Lean Space
This entire website is an homage to that mentality. You will find: - Zero JavaScript frameworks bloating your browser. - Zero third-party trackers watching your cursor. - Pure static HTML and CSS, served from a hardened little VPS.
Stick around. We've got a lot of drywall to tap.
