The User Will Know How To Use It

ui-design-memes, user-experience-memes, documentation-memes, intuitive-design-memes, developer-assumptions-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

BEHOLD! The eternal lie every developer tells themselves when skipping proper documentation! "Don't worry, it's super intuitive, the user will know how to use it" they proclaim with unfounded confidence, while the poor user (represented by that absolutely CONFUSED dog) tries to figure out how to enter a doghouse THROUGH THE ROOF instead of the gaping entrance! This is the EXACT SAME ENERGY as releasing software with zero tutorials and then wondering why users are filing 47,000 support tickets! The audacity! The delusion! The sheer hubris of thinking your UI is "intuitive" when users can't even find the login button! I'm having flashbacks to every product meeting where someone said "it's self-explanatory" and I nearly threw my laptop out the window!

Yes, But The API Says No

The classic API response contradiction that haunts my nightmares. Server returns HTTP 200 OK (everything's fine!) but then smugly delivers {"error": true} in the response body. It's like a waiter saying "Your meal is ready!" while handing you an empty plate with a note that says "actually we're out of food." Seven years of backend development and I'm still finding APIs that pull this nonsense. The worst part? Some senior dev is defending this somewhere right now as "technically correct."

Be Like Terry

Terry, the mythical unicorn of development. Spends two decades crafting his own OS (because apparently existing ones weren't painful enough), yet somehow manages to write commit messages that don't read like encrypted ransom notes. Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here with our "fixed stuff" and "updated things" commits, wondering if we should just give up and become goat farmers.
