Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.

A developer with a QA mindset is never a bad thing in my opinion. It makes sure issues are fixed earlier and saves time (and for management, money)

Nope, a good developer asks exactly the first thing with the birthdays. If you don't have proper data it's impossible to give the correct answer. This is the difference from an experienced developer to a junior.

How are edge cases supposed to be covered if the developer can't imagine them? It would save SO MUCH time if everyone were as detail oriented and creative as you.
