Form design Memes

The eternal battle between PMs and developers, captured in its natural habitat. When a PM says "make it more intuitive," they actually mean "add more validation steps." Meanwhile, the developer looking at their masterpiece of UI design where the "confirm email" field literally asks "Yes that is my Email" instead of having users type their email twice. Somewhere, a UX designer just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.

The eternal battle between PMs and developers plays out perfectly here. The PM wants a more "intuitive" UI, but the developer insists it's already intuitive. Then we see the smoking gun—a confirmation field that asks "Yes that is my Email" instead of actually having the user re-enter their email address. This is basically the digital equivalent of asking "Are you lying?" and expecting honest answers. The developer technically implemented email confirmation... just in the most useless way humanly possible. No wonder the PM thinks it's "complicated" - they're dealing with a developer who maliciously complied their way into UI disaster!

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."

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.

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!
