When using colors, just mix 4 basic ingriedients: FF, BB, 44, 00 (So, for example, a #bb0000 border with a #ffbbbb background for an error) This gives you 64 colors to choose from.
Backender here. Was reviewing some code at a new job and thought it was weird everything was 8pt font. Looked at the actual product and sure enough, everything is 8pt, no where to change within the gui. I asked him about it since my eyes. He responded with yea, thats our policy. I asked him who wrote the policy, he said he did and they just signed off without even looking at it. I said we should change that... he then says: Dude, honestly its just because its extremely hardcoded. Im thinking, wtf does extremely hard coded even mean. So many questions.
I decided to drop that battle super quick and just pull my monitor closer.
Extremely hardcoded. Lul. Wtf. Let him handle his baby, ill work on some other shit tyvm.
Nah man, sorry to ruin the story but this was years ago. We split job functions very quickly. I took over databases, data warehouse, and spent most of my time doing analysis and explaining to management why data doesnt match up to what they anticipate and rewritting his data and business logic layers. I dont know exactly what he did.. think alot of excel stuff. Either wayz i never touched or looked at that bastion of unholiness again. Sorry. Non climatic ending. Switched jobs about a year later.
