lol the UI has a new background and some color updates, but features that users requested last year and myself and my team have been working on for the past 6 months (and can generate millions of revenue for the business) get pushed back in the deployment pipeline.

these people are fucking retards.

could be worse. they could be scamming everyone

Ah, yes. 'Pretty' over 'useful' - I know that well.

@D-4got10-01 I wanna make pretty things 🥺

as long as they paying 😋

@D-4got10-01 Yeah, ex-client fell for this hard, guess which system is still earning them millions and which is doing fuck all ;P

@D-4got10-01 the irony in the matter is I suggested a long time ago we create a standardised UI component library/design system to match with the company branding and it was ignored like an old turd. and my boss was all like "i'm a data person, i don't care about look and feel that much, things just need to work!"

I'm flabbergasted...

@jestdotty That's fine. But my philosophy is 'pretty, but useless is useless'. Which is why I prefer something working to something that's just 'pretty'.

@BordedDev Gee... might it be the 'pretty' one?

Some people have weird priorities.

@int32 Sounds like he did a tactical 180°.

Wonder what changed his mind - the analytics data he might've seen or what...

But in the end, people want a working product, so 'pretty but broken' will piss them off.

@D-4got10-01 I mean I could build something monumentally useful and they still sell it wrong. sounds like not my problem!

@D-4got10-01 Yeah the issue is not only that it's ugly, it's a shitty UX too. The one menu just stops working for no reason and only shows up when you resize the browser window to around tablet width. there's some weird JS shit going on there, but I couldn't care less to fix it. not my ass, not my turd.
