  • But if the best of what you can do with it doesn’t make sense, then why do it? It’s not like it’s helping, just distracting from the parts that DO work.

    And kind of the same thing again: The universe wasn’t born with forms, either.

    When we did a project for a redesign of our web app at work, when I showed stuff to the UXer he said “I see this is designed by a programmer. Because a programmer says: But it works.”

    And indeed, that is how all of the comments I read here feel; that things like a denounced search are just irrelevant toys, instead of a solid part of the toolkit of a professional modern developer.






  • And in this story specifically, the cyclops is a main story point.

    Someone might describe the story as “It’s about a guy who gets lost and fights a cyclops”. If someone describes it as “It’s about a guy who gets lost and fights a black person”, I wouldn’t know what they’re talking about.

    I don’t care if there’s black people in historical dramas, but the person responding in the image probably feels like they did such a sick burn, while what they really did was utterly fail logical thinking.
