My brother works for a Web developing company that mostly does the WFH approach. One day the server they held their data on went out temporarily, which meant most of the company now couldn't do their jobs for about an hour or so.

Nothing anybody outside the offices could do about it except wait, so naturally it was break time for most. Except for this one woman, I think he said from QA, who kept messaging the developers telling them something was wrong with her computer.

After multiple tries to get her to explain the problem, it turned out that she didn't realise that the servers being down meant the data was inaccessible. One aneurysm from the development team later, she finally went for a coffee break, huzzah!

"GitHub is down? Guess that means it's time for a quick game break."

According to the Safari graphic, I would say that this meme originated with jQuery was still dominant in web development.

pkrasicki,

And when people still used Internet Explorer.

aerphanas, in What if we tried designing C a second time?

Pretty accurate

This reminds me of the time that a family friend wanted me to make a " QR code that gives customers points" but they didn't want a website or app

rwsl, in Java is by far...

It could always be worse. Look at the dumpster fire that is JavaScript

I would pick java over java script any day of the week.

Don’t forget the CSV files which despite the deliverers insistence on it being the same keeps changing in formatting.

I find it so cute how he cluelessly wants to have a mirror on the website. It reminds me of people wanting to download more RAM or store Wi-Fi in a box for later usage.

I probably have a box of those old AoL CDs lying around somewhere. Does that help?

oranges,

Like the box that contains the internet on the IT Crowd.....

As the audience stares in sheer awe !

:)

AstralWeekends,

So kind of the Elders of the Internet to lend it out!

oranges,

It needs to go straight back to Big Ben..... Great episode :)

DarkThoughts,

It reminds me of those videos where people put a piece of paper over their mirror with an object behind it, then look at it from the side and say "HOW DOES THE MIRROR KNOW?!?!", because they cannot understand how the object behind the paper is visible in the mirror, when the paper clearly blocks its "view".

Charles Babbage put it best:

I am not rightly able to apprehend the kind of confusion that could provoke such a question.

ironhydroxide,

How does one apprehend confusion?

oranges,

Ha ha.... That's perfect !

I have to wonder what sort of model of the world someone who makes this sort of request has. How do they think mirrors work? Screens? Images?

oranges,

I have given up on Logic when dealing with clients.... Trying to figure out what they actually mean is never what they actually mean.

It seriously blows my mind that some of these people are like CEO status of huge companies. How they even function in every day society and remember to breath is beyond me.

_thisdot, in Sometimes good to know, you're not alone!

ah so that's what Screen Mirroring is for!

Still some of the sanest requirements I've read

oranges,

I once had one on an e-commerce store...

"The dollar sign before the price looks a little bland.... Can you make it POP or doing something more interesting like make it move around or something?"
