The Three-Day Quick Feature

Description

The meme is a two-panel comparison image with bold white Impact-style text. On the left, the caption says "LET ME BUILD THIS FEATURE REAL QUICK" above a clean, composed young Harry Potter holding a wand and book. On the right, the caption says "ME, 3 DAYS LATER" above a disheveled character standing in a robe and slippers while pointing two guns. The developer joke is about feature work that looks trivial at first but turns into a multi-day spiral of edge cases, integration problems, and estimation regret.

    So, why admin now post memes with text? Am i missing something?

    1. @sylfn 5y

      For those, who still use dial-up connection.

    2. dev_meme 5y

      I could stop if you want so, but just in case some day you will think about some meme, while you remember only part of joke (or joke itself but without image around) you could just search around in channel! For me it sounds quite handy

      1. dev_meme 5y

        Maybe I'm wrong

      2. @saidov 5y

        Yes nice feature, now use decorator pattern

      3. @lazarester 5y

        ❤️

  3. @a_sulf 5y

    yeah, it's kinda annoying

    1. dev_meme 5y

      Like, really?

      1. @a_sulf 5y

        it looks like I have to read 1 thing 2 times

        1. dev_meme 5y

          But isn't it helpful to be able to quickly found exact meme when you need it?

          1. @saidov 5y

            Sorry

            1. dev_meme 5y

              I don't think this is you bad somehow, but I just started to add translation from image without describing how it could be actually used

          2. @a_sulf 5y

            speaking for myself , I just read memes without searching🙂

  4. @Rumbatutumba 5y

    For blind developers who use text2speech to laugh at memes, probably.

    1. @LanaRC 5y

      🤣

  5. dev_meme 5y

    I'm blind and i don't hear you GIF!

  6. dev_meme 5y

    Even something funny probably, so sad

  7. @a_sulf 5y

    and add favs to saved

    1. dev_meme 5y

      Then you probably have like thousands of images in saved like I do

      1. dev_meme 5y

        And there is no way to navigate around them except checking all of them

        1. @foreshape 5y

          Very good feature, thanks😊

  8. @a_sulf 5y

    yeess, but I'm still not searching

  9. @ryankrage77 5y

    it's fine for searching, but useless for accessibility unless you also describe the image. I think reddit has a volunteer army of transcribers who transcribe image posts, maybe one of them could help out 🤷

    Me trying to highlight text in SwiftUI
