Don't Make Me Think

1 day ago 74.2K views 1 shares

Ah, the classic UX principle "Don't Make Me Think" meets reality. The developer proudly creates what they believe is an elegant, intuitive teapot UI. Meanwhile, the user gets a face full of coffee trying to figure out which obscure spout actually pours the liquid. It's the perfect metaphor for when developers build "user-friendly" interfaces that somehow require a PhD to operate. The road to unusable software is paved with developers who never watched a single user test.

Tap-M-And-Grab-M: The Executive UI Order

Executive order just dropped: UI/UX terms now require more syllables for maximum developer frustration. Next week they'll rename "copy-paste" to "duplicate-and-relocate-digital-information." Somewhere, a frontend dev is crying into their mechanical keyboard while updating documentation.

Simple UI, Complicated Users

The eternal gap between developer expectations and user reality. You spend weeks perfecting that fingerprint scanner with crystal-clear instructions: "Hold your finger." Then your user comes along and tries to scan their entire fist. Every UX designer just felt a disturbance in the force. No matter how "intuitive" you make your interface, someone will find a way to use it wrong. This is why we can't have nice things in software development. Next sprint: Add tooltip "No, not your entire hand. Just ONE finger. The one attached to your hand. Yes, THAT one."

Quickly Made AI Wrappers Everywhere

Ah yes, the great AI revolution. Step 1: Take existing app. Step 2: Slap on a swirly logo with some hexagons. Step 3: Add "AI" somewhere. Step 4: Profit. Remember when we used to actually code things? Now we just prompt an LLM and hope it doesn't hallucinate our database credentials into a public repo. The modern equivalent of "just add blockchain" from 2017, except this time with more venture capital and fewer functioning products.

The World's Most Helpful Security Breach

OH MY GOD, the AUDACITY of this login form! 💀 Imagine typing your super-secret password and the system basically screams "HEY EVERYONE, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" Talk about the world's worst security design! It's like hiring a bodyguard who announces your social security number through a megaphone. The poor developer who created this monstrosity probably also keeps their house key under a doormat labeled "SECRET KEY HERE." I'm having heart palpitations just looking at this security nightmare!

The Azure Hell Hole

Azure Security Devops Microsoft Programming

Someone's dissecting the special circle of hell that is Azure authentication. Apparently Microsoft created multiple authentication systems, then decided to make them fight each other in a digital thunderdome. The post breaks down how user accounts, service accounts, and multiple SSO logins create a labyrinth where even seasoned cloud engineers get lost. It's like Microsoft designed their authentication system after watching a toddler organize Legos. Best part? The explanation for why this broken behavior exists is basically "historical baggage and legacy decisions" - corporate speak for "we made a mess and now we're stuck with it."

Web Development In A Nutshell

Ah yes, the classic pagination system that absolutely nobody uses. Those suspiciously precise version numbers masquerading as page numbers? That's what happens when the backend developer is also in charge of UI design. Nine decimal places of precision for page numbers is exactly what users need! And that "Go" button? It's just sitting there, judging your life choices, knowing damn well nobody's typing "page 3.023809523809" in that input field. This is what happens when you ask for "pagination" in the requirements doc without specifying further details. The developer technically delivered what was asked for... just with the UX sensibilities of a calculator.

Date Picker From The Ninth Circle Of UI Hell

Oh god, some frontend developer just had a stroke and created this monstrosity! Instead of a simple dropdown, they've split month names into three columns of syllables you have to piece together like a deranged puzzle. Want to select March? That's "m" + "a" + "rch". September? "sept" + "em" + "ber". And don't get me started on that default date - January 0, 1900. Perfect for when you need to book a time machine to visit the epoch time's slightly older brother. This is what happens when you ask for "innovative UI design" in a sprint planning meeting and someone takes it way too literally.

The Dress That Launched A Thousand Git Commits

Ah, the infamous dress that broke the internet in 2015. Some saw it as blue and black, others as white and gold. Now it's back to haunt frontend developers as a color scheme requirement. Nothing like having your CSS choices determined by an optical illusion that caused more family arguments than politics and religion combined. Just wait until the client asks why the website looks different on every device.

The existential crisis every frontend dev faces when they realize the entire web is just rectangles inside rectangles inside more rectangles. The box model isn't just a concept—it's the fabric of reality. And those red outlines? That's just the dev tools inspect element showing us the harsh truth we've been trying to ignore for decades. Everything is a box. Your div, your span, your hopes, your dreams... all boxes.

Apple Downloaded A CSS Filter And Called It "Liquid Glass"

When you realize Apple's revolutionary "Liquid Glass" design is just backdrop-filter: blur(2px); CSS. Tech companies repackaging basic code as groundbreaking innovation is the circle of life in Silicon Valley. Next they'll discover the revolutionary concept of "if statements" and charge you $999 for the privilege. Meanwhile, frontend devs are just sitting there like "I've been doing this since 2017 for free."

OH. MY. GOD. Apple just launched their revolutionary "Liquid Glass" effect and developers are absolutely LOSING THEIR MINDS after discovering it's literally just backdrop-filter: blur(2px); — a CSS one-liner that's been around since the STONE AGE of web development! 💀 The AUDACITY to present basic CSS as groundbreaking technology while charging $1999 for devices to run it! I'm SCREAMING! Next they'll announce they've invented the revolutionary concept of... wait for it... MARGINS! *faints dramatically*
