That moment where you finally convince your boss it's not worth fixing, and then you instantly think of a way to easily solve it.

[–] philm@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"easily" solve it.

FTFY

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

The annoying thing is, when it's happened it's been like a day's work tops. Making your initial declaration of "can't be done without rewriting all of it" look very silly.

It usually involves working backwards from unholy abomination the sales team, your manager and the customer fucked into existence between them, and just find out what problem the customer actually wants solving.

How some people are in comments. Always gotta get that one last comment in the chain in.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I disagree

[–] teft@startrek.website 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes.
aaf(1)

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No

[–] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

YES!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I will never let it go!

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Story of my life

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is there actually a limit to how far a comment thread can go?

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't think so.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it just continues forever until the ui either fails or doesnt

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Or until someone of us here stops commenting

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Two reply from two people at the exact same time. Do I need to answer both of you to win now?

Btw really nice meme.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, one is enough. ^^ Curiosity got the better of me thinking about how squished the UI might end up looking.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for allowing me to only write one comment all the time.

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, one comment keeps it simple. We're just stress testing.

[–] philm@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We're in the third rainbow, keep building more stripes lol

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No worrys. I will never stop.

[–] philm@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And we're about to enter the fourth rainbow dimension in the next comment...

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Y'all done yet?

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No!

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, it's still going!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Of course!

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Alright, looks like 40% filled up on my screen atm.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rookie numbers, it's probably 15% on my screen, There's space for a lot more rainbows

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My screen is used 50% now on my Fairphone 3+

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I hope we're all talking about portrait orientation. Oh boy, filling it up in landscape mode seems a daunting task. °!°

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In my App landscape is the same because it makes splitscreen between the Post and the comment section. So the comments are the same width.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I see, somehow completely forgot that apps might be different. In browser version in landscape (I just noticed) there's also the right sidebar, which reserves some space. So it wouldn't even have to go all the way.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's getting really tight here.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Plenty of space for me still (browser version on desktop)

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yea the moment I have no space here anymore I have to switch to desktop.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Let's start the sixth rainbow!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Leeeeets goooo

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nice, bit over half way point here.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just calculated exact subpixel accuracy, for me it's exactly 20.5̅9̅5̅5̅3̅3̅4̅9̅8̅7̅5̅9̅3̅0̅5̅2̅1̅0̅9̅1̅8̅1̅1̅4̅1̅4̅3̅9̅2̅0̅ % that is still missing to fill the whole comment body with rainbows, way to go!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thats not accurate anymore because of my reply. Recalculate please.

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (20 children)

I do wonder if there's a hard limit at some point regarding "nested replies"...
