12*2 = 24 and today I went to the store to buy some bananas but the all the bananas were too ripe

Blackmist ,

That banana’s name? Albert Einstein.

Ctrl+s+s+s+s+s

MonkeMischief ,

LOL good point about just not releasing Ctrl.

The chances are non-zero that somebody out there attempts to release and press ctrl+s at the exact same time over and over like they’re hammering out Beethoven’s 5th. XD

CEOs changed the game completely after one of them played spiderman 2.
warning: the story might change the way you think how some developers are treated across the world.
for a full documentary, see this YouTube video(in German, but you can turn on the subtitles)

asyncrosaurus ,

I don’t know if the game is the best example of busineses making top-down design decisions, since that game was an obvious scam from the start.

lemmesay ,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

you’re right. perhaps a better example would be YouTube suggesting videos by colour?

asyncrosaurus ,

I never saw that, that’s legitimately funny. I’d love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.

Not sure why? Just because you don’t use or understand a feature, it does not mean nobody else wants it? Or do you have more insight into that?

lemmesay ,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don’t. but adding a “feature”(I call it bloat) that doesn’t even work properly instead of, say, making search better might be a more sensible thing.
but as a commentor suspects, they might’ve added this because of black history month

Holzkohlen , in I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software

I just can’t stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.

MonkeMischief ,

Kate

Ah! Another fellow coder of culture!

It’s such a good text editor.

jaemo ,

Love me some Kate.

You don’t understand! If you don’t keep adding new features, people will stop using your app!

Who wants simple apps that just work as intended, am I right?

The UNIX Tools Philosophy is that tools should do one thing, and they should do it well.
I wish more things followed this philosophy.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Along with the even older philosophy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

Hear hear. That’s how the tools I write work as well.

UFODivebomb ,

We’ve created an economy where that is not sustainable.

This fact is bad imo, but it’s where we are.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The actual problem is if you don’t add new features, there’s nothing for people to do beyond maintenance and you aren’t going to keep good developers to only stick around for that.

So your option is new features or a new app entirely, but coming up with other good apps isn’t easy and is a huge risk.

So if you actually did good market research and spoke to users, you could find new features to add.

Beyond a tiny company or sole developer, it doesn’t really work.

some_guy ,

Get out of here with these facts and work on that UI redesign we’re due to ship next year.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

You mean the one that no one asked for, makes it harder to do the primary thing the app is designed to do, and all the involved developers have told management it’s a bad idea with a detailed list of why?

konst ,

Uaers need a $39.99p/m subscription to Calcly Pro.

CCF_100 , in 5/5 stars

“Most favorable review” 🤣

Ironfacebuster OP ,

That was my favorite part, their system tried so hard to find a highly rated review and that’s what it got instead

devfuuu , in I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software

Intellij being a good guy amd autosaving every few seconds. No more worrying about crtl+s.

ILikeBoobies , in What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app?

That would be a better app for it

Either a ton of math tutorials or the calculator says boobs

Cost/benefit

Manually saving will save a lot more time than it not saving

Dude I save almost every time I type anything. It’s muscle memory at this point.

This meme is the most those people have ever actually contributed to society as a whole.

WaxedWookie ,

What are you talking about? David kicked kinda good while having hair, and Victoria was in a band called the Spice Girls despite being a set square haunted by the ghost of a rice cracker.

GreenEnigma ,

Haunted by the ghost of a rice cracker

That’s just perfect imagery.

AVincentInSpace , in ???

what does “you know all the codes” even mean?
