The Reddit Lane Change Maneuver
The Reddit dev team making that hard right turn away from "doing something creative" to "moving notification to separate page" is the ultimate product management swerve. Classic case of developers ignoring user experience for the sake of... what exactly? Nobody knows! It's like they saw users enjoying the convenient modal notifications and thought, "You know what would make this better? Making people click more things!" The sudden lane change perfectly captures that moment when product decisions leave users gripping their mice in terror wondering who's actually driving this platform.

How Do You Even Answer That
Ah, the classic job application form designed by someone who clearly never met a developer in their life. Asking "How many years of experience do you have in PHP?" and offering only "Yes" or "No" as options is peak recruiter intelligence. It's like asking "How tall are you?" and the only answers are "Pizza" or "Tuesday." The form creator probably thinks PHP is some kind of exotic pet or a new cryptocurrency. The "My favourite numbers" title at the bottom just completes the absurdity. Clearly, the correct answer is "No" because any self-respecting developer's years of PHP experience should be measured in sighs and existential crises, not integers.

The Ultimate Date Format
Forget MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY debates! Some evil frontend developer decided the best date format is "YYYY/DM/DM" and expects users to calculate their own birthday. It's like telling someone "your birthday is in 1990, now solve for x where x equals the day you were born divided by the month, twice." This is what happens when you let the same person who named variables like temp1 , temp2 , and finalTempIPromise design your forms.

Ah, the classic "password already in use" error that somehow manages to be both a security feature and a privacy nightmare simultaneously. Nothing says "secure system" like telling you exactly who has the same terrible password. Somewhere, a security engineer is having a stroke while starboy98 is frantically changing all his accounts because he used "password123" everywhere. This is why we can't have nice things in cybersecurity.
