‘…wait til the users see this!’ said client.
‘Fuck you and the server you run on. We want the old system back. This shit is useless, pointless, and moved the thing I click on most often one line farther down so I keep clicking on this new shit I don’t want.’ - said the users.
‘Look, it’s our most popular feature!’ - said client
I am still very much pissed off by one of these shit proposals client brought in a couple months ago. Utter garbage, absolutely useless, serves no purpose but to make the design more complicated, increase server load, costs, etc which I just told then straight to their face in the first meeting. But no, The all mighty, all knowledgeable client had to smear that shit on the wall and have 5 different meetings and feasibility checks to come to the same conclusion I gave them after hearing their fart in a jar. Fuck these idiotic assholes.
This is precisely why I swore off working for IT or tech consultancy companies. The sad part is those are pretty much the only kind of dev jobs available. There are product related companies, but they are very few and far between.
I think experience’s and common sense’s lines should be switched. Otherwise, great.
The customer is always right in matters of taste.
