You can't please everyone...

I was reading a post and I had this thought... (you smell the wood burning?)

So here it is:

I make the greatest program ever example... it adds 1+1 and come up with 2 always and that is all it does, why because people keep forgetting that 1+1=2 but along comes this user of the greatest program ever who asks why can't it give 1+1=3? I want it to equal 3!!

Ah the life of a programer or anyone who interacts with other people

Thank you for reading my little post, it was a random thought... won't happen again as I burned out the few brain cells I had...

Ok then??

I'm confused. Are you actually going to do this?

Loki · 18 May 2014

No...

Just a thought on how people always want something to do something else... no matter what it is.

Designing software means making decisions. Sometimes they are hard. Sometimes very hard. Sometimes no matter what choice you make somebody will say it was a stupid one.

I wish I could take credit for that but cannot.

This happens elsewhere, not just in software.

I work in a food processing facility...time and time again I've seen the company purchase expensive processing equipment and try to make it do something that it wasn't designed to do.

This rarely works out, sometimes the equipment is returned to the manufacturer, sometimes it ends up in the boneyard and is eventually sold as scrap.

It happens everywhere.

I just try my best. If you are happy, well and good. If you are not, sorry to say that I am sorry. I will make you happy next time.

Dont take it hard, man! None of us is not designed to make everybody happy. Even the God himself/herself cannot do it.

One can never rule out the troll factor

Once someone says something really silly you just have to laugh and ignore them in the future,

Oh Yeah, I love it when someone comes in and wants their calculator to function as a remote control for their TV.

It might just be, you just never know what I am referencing at times.
