I Hope He Was Fired

I Hope He Was Fired
When the dev who built your UI validation thought phone numbers were just decorative elements. Somewhere out there, a database is screaming as it stores "74626282613" with no country code, formatting, or validation whatsoever. The slider is a particularly nice touch - nothing says "professional application" like measuring phone digits on a scale from "not enough" to "way too many."

The Ultimate Date Format

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.

Who Is Guilty: The Slider Phone Number Massacre

Who Is Guilty: The Slider Phone Number Massacre
SWEET MOTHER OF INPUT VALIDATION! The absolute CRIME SCENE that is this phone number field! Some developer had the AUDACITY to create a slider—A SLIDER!!!—for entering a phone number! The poor user is forced to play "Price is Right" with their own contact information, dragging that cursor pixel by excruciating pixel to reach their digits! Whoever designed this UI monstrosity deserves to spend eternity debugging Internet Explorer 6 compatibility issues with nothing but print statements. This is why we can't have nice things in tech! The designer deserves not just firing, but a special circle of developer hell where all form inputs are controlled by interpretive dance!
