I figured I'd be smart and set the pressure cooker up to make some black beans before driving to work today. Surprising how as simple an interaction as setting a pressure cooker to cook on low for 90 minutes can be a living hell. Holding down the button to increment the counter ends up using an all too slow repeat rate, whereas hammering on the button to get up to 90 faster results in a beep on every push. A really annoying, loud, beep. Augh! Of course I forgot to add something and had to cancel the whole thing a minute later, put in the missing stuff, and then do the whole damnable process all over again.

In this day and age, it boggles my mind that there's enough buy in / lock in for some things that they can ship with utterly stupid wrong broken bad evil sad lame idiotic useless features, like any Panasonic Lumix camera WiFi "features".

Mozilla really does not understand UX, in my book. An example: when it asks me if I want it to remember my login for a site. There is no option to tell it to never try to remember anything for any site. I have to go through various levels of settings to get to (or even bloody find in the first place) the setting that would let me turn off that annoying nagging bullcrap for ever.

(Ditto the "reader view" or whatever that hell junk crap is called.)

Why don't the shipping companies have smart tags on every package themselves?

There are bugs / issues that really just shouldn't exist, that are just blatant indictments of the particular software, and pretty much software in general as a whole. How can GIMP be 'sold' with a straight face when the "Open Image" dialog box fails to show any "Preview" for these JPG images I'm trying to load?

It completely boggles my mind that we live in an age where software is still written such that it can have zillions of blatant "un managed" or "non managed" memory errors. Yes, I know performance is a five letter word. But so is reliability.

One sad painful depressing never ending whipping boy lesson I have learned over the years from working on Android projects: "With great configurability comes great (shirked, in the case of Android) responsibility."
