Heard smoke test IRL & was confused to see it used indeed in place of “sanity check”. Weird.

I have heard people use smoke test but not nearly at the same rate an LLM uses.

If a repo is bare of CLAUDE.md but mentions a smoke test in a commit in the last year I assume it to be LLM written.

At my last two jobs, smoke tests were a common topic of conversation.

Can't remember when I first heard it, but I searched my email and got a pile of results from 2012 and 2009. It's possible there's earlier in there somewhere but 2009 was a busy year so I got bored of clicking the "more results" button...

I think I've only read "smoke test" in a programming book (or maybe an OSDev wiki) but I can't remember now
