The worst part about being a web developer is when clients ruin a perfectly good website by asking for dumb things, even though you told them it's either:
a) near impossible
b) not useful/helpful to users
c) deprecated/no longer used code/techniques
e) will harm performance and SEO
d) just plain stupid

I believe there exist a perfect line of control you have to set with any client to avoid such issues. Being too friendly? They'll try to milk you. Being too distant? You might loose them.

Those kind of people never should ask for websites, tell them to get out ya ass. Only dev can understand dev's

And you are damn right bro

@navz I'm not a dude 😂

Any examples of plain stupid asks?

@thejohnhoffer many
- "more glitter to class it up"
- no inventory on an e-commerce site (they had it just didn't want it on 🙄)
- removing city and state from SEO
- flash animated monkeys (not an animal related site)
- hiding / skewing pricing on items for sale
- removing SEO content from homepage completely
- replacing our professional pics with poorly done ones of their own or stealing them from Google
- asking me to disregard compliance rules set in place by manufacturer (results in fine for Client)
- asking me to copy content verbatim from someone else's site
- asking me to copy a direct competitors site design exactly
- wanting an ugly 90s design on a responsive site

@CodingPrincess these are amazing XD

Why glitter. Why flash.
