An ad hoc sorting system for a grid of tiles on an enterprise app
Instead of sorting across row wise, it sorted columnar. So it was
<span style="color:#323232;">A E I M
</span><span style="color:#323232;">B F J N
</span><span style="color:#323232;">C G K O
</span><span style="color:#323232;">D H L P
</span>
Instead of
<span style="color:#323232;">A B C D
</span><span style="color:#323232;">E F G H
</span><span style="color:#323232;">I J K L
</span><span style="color:#323232;">M N O P
</span>
This was a requirement from the CEO. Since we used this project (dogfooding) we stuck a secret search box/command palette in, which you could hit . and then type the name of the thing you wanted and click it
Anything where my dumb ass leadership announced far too early and users got excited and pushed for release. They gave unrealistic estimates so people were pissed when it didn’t fully release when they wanted it. It shipped unfinished and it died unfinished.
Waste of goddamn time and lots of stress. Don’t worry tho we got a new CEO and are going down the exact same fucking road.
Surely it can’t happen twice? Idk whether to laugh or cry most work days
