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 2 years ago (1 children)

"easily" solve it.

FTFY

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

I disagree

[–] teft@startrek.website 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes.

I will never let it go!

Story of my life

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

I don't think so.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it just continues forever until the ui either fails or doesnt

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

Or until someone of us here stops commenting

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] philm@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No worrys. I will never stop.

[–] philm@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Y'all done yet?

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No!

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, it's still going!

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course!

[–] bellsDoSing@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

It's getting really tight here.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Let's start the sixth rainbow!

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

Leeeeets goooo

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

Nice, bit over half way point here.

[–] philm@programming.dev 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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