  • Key bindings and a good GUI aren’t mutually exclusive.

    Key bindings are great for people that use the app a lot and want to be more efficient at the tasks they do most often in it. But most people aren’t going to be learning keyboard shortcuts the first time they use an app. And if someone uses an app a few times and find it frustrating to use, they never use it enough to want to learn keyboard shortcuts to improve their efficiency with the app.

    So you open any other image editor, click the rectangle select button, draw a rectangle, then select a move button beside the rectangle select tool, then it moves the rectangle you just selected and you think “That’s fucking stupid, it should’ve moved the entire image, not the rectangle I just selected!”

    Really?


  • Apparently I’m Neutral Evil. But I consider myself to be Chaotic Neutral.

    I’ll fix the problem only when it’s actually a computer problem and when you can explain what the problem properly. I don’t care if it’s a ticket or an email. Though I might not get to the email today and tomorrow I might forget about it, so you might want to put a ticket in that’ll stay the until it’s closed. But the ticket system sucks, so I might not log into it and see your ticket for a few days. If you send an email, I might do it right away, but you might have to remind me about it in a few days because I might’ve forgotten about it.

    I don’t care about your job title. If you VP of whatever the fuck and think you’re important or if you were hired yesterday to an entry level position, you’re all users to me. But the issues aren’t fixed based on the order they come in, it’s based on how much effort you put into describing the problem. If you think you’re too important to describe the issue properly, you’re low priority. If you want a meeting to describe the issue verbally, oh you better believe you’re low priority, I’m not your fucking secretary that’s going to take down your dictation. You got a keyboard in front of you, use it. I might eventually get around to asking you for more details about the problem, but only after I’ve fixed all of the problems reported by people that made an effort. Your priority is based on your effort.

    Ok so maybe I’m Lawful Evil? But everyone thinks I’m Chaotic Evil because they don’t understand why some people get stuff done right away while they have to wait.

    A big hurdle in any technological change is the “power users”. People that have learned a lot about the old tech and have to face that knowledge becoming obsolete. And then having to learn a bunch of new things.

    The same goes for Windows power users as people who know a lot about fossil fuel powered cars.












  • Management could implement a code review process to avoid this.

    Software development isn’t a brand new field anymore. Most problems are well known and therefore have well known solutions. So it pretty much always comes down to management not wanting to implement the known solutions to the problems because its easier to blame the devs.
