I remember that time my class (first year of software development) wrote a huge project for a real company as practice for irl stuff.
I was the only Linux user and it would be deployed on a Linux server.
Spent 10 weeks of development and then the moment of deployment on a Linux server began!

Nothing was case sensitive, everything was programmed for a windows architecture (backward slashes etc) and mssql was used while we would host it on a MySQL server.
The tree core guys spent three days or so to make the entire fucker compatible 😂
It was enjoyable to see them (literally) sweat 😊 (it had been known from the very beginning)7 -
Android O. Curse for dark theme guys 😢. Not to mention half the apps on my phone crash right now.
P.S. I hate these new backward compatible emojis too.9 -
No! I don’t have any problems that you are deprecating various libs that I used in my software. Just don’t fucking insist that your code is production ready and stable and backward compatible. Please

Only upgraded a library by one MINOR version (0.24.0 to 0.25.0) then my tests going all RED! And it's google.
Yea so I just pin my requirements.txt to previous version.
Non backward-compatible library is so annoying.2
