Developers must have an oath like "I solemnly swear that I would develop software that I myself would be happy to use.

The worst software to use that I've seen tends to be enterprise systems. Accounts, stock management, CRMs and such. Bloody horrific stuff.

However, it's not the back-end devs fault that the company is too cheap to put some UI/UX on the team.

I don't agree with this statement. Depends too much on the developer's own notion of what is a good piece of code, not to mention their own ability to produce a good piece of code.

Developers should commit to developing code that is easy for other developers to use and understand.

Correction : "developers must have an OAuth..."

@pixeltherapy it's not about UX or UI either. just count how many times have you come across one of these enterprise softwares that doesn't have a workaround or is structured properly. These software shouldn't require a one week course just to understand their basic functionalities yet they do. All because someone somewhere didn't gave a fuck. companies end up spending more on these get up to speed classes and supporting their buggy software without realising but refuse to spend on getting/developing a proper one

@pixeltherapy true story

@ulaikamor brother you must "clean code" 😂

@flag0 when the software is so bad that you want to call to the company offices to leave a flaming turd-bag on their doorstep.

But yes, insane architecture 'just because' is a systemic problem in some sectors.
