My employer bought some new 40" 4k displays to the office. The want us to evaluate if they are any good, and if so replace all monitors... No real developers has one, only HR people sitting there with one huge window with office or word open!! It makes me cry! And they will most likely say they are too big!
When everyone left the office I tried one... OMG, i need this in my life! 😍50 -

People rant here about how they hate documenting things or writing tests or whatever.
Yes these things are not the most interesting but I have a feeling that we are forgetting about most horrendous of tasks - estimating. Especially in agencies. Especially related to altering legacy features. Especially big projects.
I mean, I'm spending time doing something that is basically dev's Voo Doo, hoping that I will be right... and usually I'm not.6 -
During mockup presentation where everything is perfectly vertically aligned:
Dev: "How should the surrounding content behave if the article is longer?"
Designer: "That won't happen."3 -
I use to have pretty lenient office hours. Boss recently told me he wanted me in the office 9-5, gets mad when I don't respond to emails outside of those hours2

When you work from home and your same age cousins do nothing to earn, their parents: "It doesn't matter. He (me) works from home, meaning he does nothing too".
Seriously?2 -
