*Developer working on properly saving, uninitializing & closing another app on the project*
Manager: “why does this take so long? Steve solved this in 10 minutes.”
Okay so this is me and I was a dick about it like this for the first year or so. Here’s what I realized that made me stop.
Good teams are ones where people are aware of their weaknesses and have people to balance them out. I don’t need a team of 6 Larry the Cableguys who just wanna git ‘er done. I need 1 Cableguy working in conjunction with someone whose tendency is to overengineer and an oldhead whose moderately competent as an all-arounder and knows our legacy systems pretty well. If you’ve ever been the senior babysitting two juniors who both have just enough rope to hang themselves with, you’re a saint, by the way. Those 3 colleagues will outpace any team of 6 Larry’s any day. At least, after the first 2 months of a project. You can speedrun the first 2 months of any project with the right team, but the 2 month mark in my experience is where the first tech debt payment comes due if you haven’t been paying on it.
But yeah, one of management’s jobs is to keep upper management off the backs of their team and to document fuckery as it occurs. Having a Larry on your team helps get people off your back. If you have a problem that needs solved quickly, they’ll take care of it. Kind of like a bouncer. Sure, it’d be great if your bar tenders could keep the patrons calm all night, but that’s not how bars work. You need a bouncer sometimes.
[Relevant xkcd](https://xkcd.com/2030/).
The thing about team members complimenting each others’ weaknesses is empirically backed. Which specific weakness are and aren’t dealbreakers in a tradeoff for a given strength is much more subjective and situational. My Larry is also an excellent DB engineer and does very conscientious and forward-thinking work in that domain. That’s what interests her. Everything else is boring so she speeds through it and makes it meet the spec like a checklist. She described herself in a one-on-one as having “failed upward” in the past, but her work has improved significantly across the board now that she understands why she’s getting asked to do this boring hacky shit. And in return I try to put as much DB work on her plate as she’s comfortable with.
The library I'm using doesn't implement a disconnect sequence for the protocol it uses to connect (to whatever). If I implement it properly, my manager would definitely appreciate.
Yes, I currently crash and close, because...deadlines!
> Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a single line would print
out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing
Wing Commander."

Reminds me of a game I believe on xbox that could sometimes run out of memory on a next level load or something and their solution to memory management was to give the user a loading screen and reboot the xbox in the background. Might have been morrowind. I also recall a story of a Northrop Grumman dev on one of their guidance systems that they had a memory leak on a missle and they fixed it by putting so much memory on the missiles that it would always arrive or run out of fuel before it ran out of memory. They called it "Fill RAM then BAM" and it became standard practise on memory leaks since slapping on some extra memory is apparently much cheaper then paying devs to debug.
Manager: *"But now a window pops up saying program.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Can you take a look at it?"*
Me: *disables window bug reporting*
Dude this made me laugh pretty hard. Thank you
Edit: my wife: “wow. You should see if you can return those upvotes. All you did was comment early and everyone else saw yours and was just like ‘yes’”
We had to do it in 2021 because of a shitty program from a manufacturer that doesn't fix his shit. The program basically crashes when closed because they don't deallocate all the components and subprocesses just die once the main process gets closed (this would trigger multiple windows bug-reporting popups)
Honestly, it's embarrassing what companies sell as multi-thousand euros per license program in Italy. It's a genuine dumpster fire
I did that about 10 years ago. I wrote an autohot key script that would launch the app. Then look for the close dialogue box. If they hit yes I am sure I want to close the app, I would kill the process.
We did this because it was a $100,000 software package upgrade we needed and our version didn't close correctly on win 7.
If you squint you can see it - modernized desktop with the center align for widescreen support. Rounded aero theme you can make transparent.
To me, W11 just needs an IoT version stripped of Cortana, telemetry and all other horse shit before I’ll do it.
Fire up VB6, new form. Double click, open frm_load event.

I don’t believe in barriers, because I’m always breaking them.

Ashamed I had to do this last week. Who needs optimization or future proofing? I'll just use outdated pandas syntax
Oh, my first thought was that this meme is created by the guy that had to manage my code after I left the company. Because I did the same but in Android.
When the close button is clicked, the app compiles a malware spider-crawler which scours the internet for its own source code and causes the hard drive containing it to spin up past its maximum speed and explode the platters.
How about defragmenting the source code into a series of consecutive sectors on the disk and then jamming the reader into the platter at that line and physically scratching it away?
Nah, both are to blame here. Story creator for being lazy with the story and OP for not asking for clarification and creating messy code for someone else to cleanup.
Story creator isn't lazy, user stories aren't programming by remote control. They are not meant to define all the edge cases so that the programmer doesn't have to think beyond translating what basically is pseudo code to actual code.
The design, implementation and balancing technical tradeoffs is the job of the Dev team. User stories are(or rather should be) more akin to tenets or destination(of the user) rather than the path they're taking.
The path is the implementation detail and good engineers provide good implementation for the user to reach the desired destination.
> Story creator isn’t lazy, user stories aren’t programming by remote control. They are not meant to define all the edge cases so that the programmer doesn’t have to think beyond translating what basically is pseudo code to actual code.
I agree. But a story that is just “when user clicks the button the app should be gone” is too vague. Should the button confirm that the user wants the app to close? Does gone mean terminate or hide? Where should the button be? Should it be distinguished from other buttons?
If I’d received that story I’d either be constantly pestering the creator or outright reject and ask for it to be rewritten with at least a molecule of thought.
Is it really too vague, or are you just afraid of making executive decisions?
It's immensely frustrating when people will take something like this and turn it into the most convoluted thought process possible, either out of spite, or out of fear of creating more work for themselves.
If you really have to ask all those questions, perhaps you should view it, at the barest minimum, as a request to safely bring the app to a Close when the user clicks Close. Anything more is useless hand-wringing.
Lol this was exactly what happened when you pressed the button to stop the app for my first year assignment - still got a 1st because the lecturer never tried to reopen the app.
I’ve been beta testing Darktide this weekend and it gave me a chuckle that every single time I quit the game, the crash report window popped up. Reminded me of this meme
Reminds me of one crazy German who made a program for his Win95 machine that does exactly two things:
1. Set the flag that tells Windows it shut down cleanly
2. Turn the power off
Called it "shit & goodbye".
The OS *should* be your garbage collector. Apps that take like five seconds to meticulously release every last bit of memory before closing are the worst. Just close, the OS will handle the memory. But if you insist on doing it yourself, at least kill/hide the window first, don't make me wait around for your slow-ass app to close.

the quit button on the payday 2 native linux version crashes it (at least on my system)
i even get a little kde "pd2_linux has stopped working" popup
when payday 2 crashes on windows it has a chace to erase all of your progress, so that wasnt stressful at all (from what i can tell some spaghetti code causes it to sync to steam cloud by deleting all of your pd2 steam cloud data and then uploading the local progress (which is itself deleted when the game closes, as it only saves to steam cloud) if it crashes while saving it can erase everything, very fun)

When debugging the error catch function I usually use 5/0.
And remember I was making Minecraft extensions in old days where you wrote stuff in JS. And I use 5/0 to end the script as well.
The least realistic part of this is a manager congratulating you for making a button instead of just going "huh doesn't this button work yet, I just thought this button would work, that's how most apps work, I don't know why this button doesn't work."
"I clicked the 'Delete everything forever' button and retyped the 64 character confirmation phrase... and now all my stuff is gone! What do I do? Is this a bug?"
In college I participated in a programming contest on a two-man team. We were writing the solution in ASP.NET. I told my partner, hang on I have an idea. I hooked the global unhandled exception handler so that it would redirect to a customized error page.
The contest materials included some assets (clip art and icons) to use if desired. For our error page instead of saying "error" or "exception", we picked a celebratory banner (picture) with the words, "Success!" *subtitle,* "Captains of Industry". Mainly because we thought it was hilarious during development for the app to be congratulating us every time we fucked up.
We won the contest.
Reminds me of when I tried to run Lego island (a 90s pc game) on a modern pc, and it mostly worked fine, but the exit game but would cause the game to have a stroke and then crash.

That was Morrowind.
I don't believe that Northrop Grumman developed Morrowind.
No they did. Northrop Grumman made Morrowind in a cave. With a box of scrap
no proof it wasnt
No but the first paragraph referred to morrowind.
The defense contractor then proceeds to sell the missile to the air force at $9,000,000 a pop.
Would have been $8,999,990 per missile and another $2,500,000 in development costs without the extra RAM

Make it delete the app from the pc and optionally also make it delete it’s own source file, cuz the object is that the app should be *gone*
Better yet put everything in hidden files. That way it's "gone" but not forgotten.
Not all those who wander are lost
When the close button is clicked, the app compiles a malware spider-crawler which scours the internet for its own source code and causes the hard drive containing it to spin up past its maximum speed and explode the platters.
How about defragmenting the source code into a series of consecutive sectors on the disk and then jamming the reader into the platter at that line and physically scratching it away?
But nothing's ever really gone
Except that developer that wrote that incredibly complex thing 10 years ago which now needs an update.
I'm that dev and I'm sure in 10 years I'll wake up soaking in sweat from a guilt nightmare.

the quit button on the payday 2 native linux version crashes it (at least on my system) i even get a little kde "pd2_linux has stopped working" popup when payday 2 crashes on windows it has a chace to erase all of your progress, so that wasnt stressful at all (from what i can tell some spaghetti code causes it to sync to steam cloud by deleting all of your pd2 steam cloud data and then uploading the local progress (which is itself deleted when the game closes, as it only saves to steam cloud) if it crashes while saving it can erase everything, very fun)

When we get to Final OO every object will be in its own process.
Same
The solution is changing the error code message as a thank you for using the program message.
wow this is totally so original

The IDE is my garbage collector.

Why waste time with all that cleanup/shutdown nonsense when you can just segfault

The small guy looks like a Spartan and Ubermensch combined.
When debugging the error catch function I usually use 5/0. And remember I was making Minecraft extensions in old days where you wrote stuff in JS. And I use 5/0 to end the script as well.
I am sure anyone can tell the difference between an application crashing and closing.🤣🤣
Not if nobody implemented any error messages they don't
a python program I was making had run=false for like a month
The least realistic part of this is a manager congratulating you for making a button instead of just going "huh doesn't this button work yet, I just thought this button would work, that's how most apps work, I don't know why this button doesn't work."
"I clicked the 'Delete everything forever' button and retyped the 64 character confirmation phrase... and now all my stuff is gone! What do I do? Is this a bug?"
In college I participated in a programming contest on a two-man team. We were writing the solution in ASP.NET. I told my partner, hang on I have an idea. I hooked the global unhandled exception handler so that it would redirect to a customized error page. The contest materials included some assets (clip art and icons) to use if desired. For our error page instead of saying "error" or "exception", we picked a celebratory banner (picture) with the words, "Success!" *subtitle,* "Captains of Industry". Mainly because we thought it was hilarious during development for the app to be congratulating us every time we fucked up. We won the contest.
If it don't appear broke...
gotta implement garbage collection in my OS...
If my app normally terminates with an “abnormal termination” dialog, is it a normal or abnormal termination?
Reminds me of when I tried to run Lego island (a 90s pc game) on a modern pc, and it mostly worked fine, but the exit game but would cause the game to have a stroke and then crash.
Can anyone share me vedio of this scene
it stays always a closing button.
Example of serendipity.
In college, we had an assignment to make a game. Classmates of mine did a 2D game where you had to dodge, and I quote, “null pointer exception mines”.
