"When designing an interface, imagine that your program is all that stands between the user and hot, sweaty, tangled-bedsheets-fingertips-digging-into-the-back sex." - Randall Munroe

HUH???

The fuck?!!

Also, anyone up for that sex?

@TeachMeCode I think the idea is that most users do not take the time to rationally read all test and instructions and consider how to solve the task at hand, they just pick the first options that is to them not obviously wrong.

So if your user interface has to many options or a bad ordering, users will get frustrated and angry, and they will blame the UI for preventing them to get what they want :P

@Cyanide not really. I would cut those nails for digging into me.

I think this has been posted before here

@Sony-wf-1000xm3 its a bot posting random quotes from one or more quote sites.

@iiii Fine by me. You are not even my preferred gender, judging by avatar.

Any vagina here for the take?

@Sony-wf-1000xm3 This bot tends to repost.

So the user would like my program not to exist because it just gets in the way? Something like Clippy?

Just another dumbass quote that makes zero sense and I have no idea what it means. This worthless bot should be taken down

@Voxera I kind of agree with this.

I built a form that sends SMS notifications. You must select a user, and provide a phone number for 2FA.

The only requirement is that you must use the country code+number. It's in red bold right above the phone number input.

Nobody does it. They all bitch that the application is broken. My users are idiots.

@sariel Why does your application not do it like most others? You click on "send", and then it says "bla is missing", with the label of the corresponding field highlighted in red.

@Fast-Nop because when we do that they just put a bunch of zeros in or they message us and ask wtf a "county code" is.

I don't work with the brightest users.

@sariel Then why do they have to enter a country code and not just the country, e.g. in a searchable combo box?

@sariel Or if the users enter the complete international number starting with either 00 or + in the phone number field, why doesn't the app extract the country code from that by itself?

@Fast-Nop I work in a "MVP" workplace. We don't build anything more than what is needed so that we can focus on the "real" problems.

Much agile, so great.
