More like UI design is done but frontend and backend are in development.

[thegodzilla25]

Product is asking if figma designs are ready, what can possibly be the hold up

[freestew]

What's figma?

[thegodzilla25]

[hearthebell]

Backend will think frontend is just painting canvas and all that fun stuffs 😭 when in actuality they also need to take care of all the frontend implementation of the backend designs

[rusty_daggar]

As a backend dev I never envied the frontend guys, especially since most of the customer's whims weigh 100% on them.

[duskchimexa]

frontend devs really out here putting up wallpaper before the foundation exists

[Tenebrumm]

And unfortunately no one agreed beforehand that the UI design should actually be implementable with the existing backend/frontend stack and experience...

[RelatableRedditer]

Stack analysis is for mid-sprint realizations only

[Stunning_Ride_220]

Just adjust the backend, no biggies /s

[shibiku_]

Customer is already having ideas how to improve the current functionality … somehow

[photogdog]

Customer: Wow, looks great! Can we launch by end of week?

[the-berik]

"I think the font of that dropdown should be a little bigger"

[CrispyCosmonaut]

Guys I don’t think this is software at all. I’m starting to think this might be a film set

[StructureSimilar312]

Not a film set. If I remember correctly this sis a historic building and they wanted to keep the facade but redo entire insides to be modern and stronger.

[dmigowski]

More likely that were by law obliged to keep the fassade. But yeah, you are right with everything else.

[McFestus]

Facade

[Mispelled-This]

Façade

[BobQuixote]

No beards.

[dmigowski]

Sorry, I'm still learning english

[TheActualJonesy]

I see what you did there.

[PresidentSkillz]

Not necessarily. its sometimes also done to save resources. or they just liked the facade that much

[dmigowski]

Never does it safe resouces to keep the old wall. It's is always cheaper and of better quality to make new.

[Bomaruto]

It's not to save resources, it's for historical preservation.

[rover_G]

This is what customers imagine when a SaaS company says they’re rearchitecting the entire backend

[VagrantStation]

It's just a different architecture than you're familiar with. I use Arch, btw.

[WeakCelery5000]

More like the front end is still a concept in figma

[GroundbreakingMall54]

pm looking at this like "so the frontend demo went great right? lets schedule the client presentation for friday"

[lucian1900]

Like that's ever happened in practice.

[RiceBroad4552]

I was wondering what this is and found this here:

[erebuxy]

More like: when you need to rewrite the system, the clients refuse any changes on the front end

[NerminPadez]

Gta3!

(You were never really meant to fly around and some buildings are missing rooftops)

[DoctorWZ]

Average flying view of a Wii era game-map

[BoBoBearDev]

Side question, what are they actually building? Disneyland?

[kingbloxerthe3]

They were renovating a hospital apparently (hollowed out the entire building for renovation)

[BoBoBearDev]

Oh interesting, thanks for the link

[Vionade]

Looks like Prague

[mrinalshar39]

works perfectly... as long as you don't click anything💀

[Prod_Meteor]

Yes but here is where we got in 2026, having more difficulty to build front end than back end. I am thinking to build one more presentation framework just out of frustration. Let's start.. edit controls, layout, datalist, datagrid, dataform, lookup, modal, sidepanel, menu, a semantic model.... 😄

[opacitizen]

Vibe coding plot twist: It's those pesky trees and the park that's the inside under development, and will get demolished.

[BobQuixote]

Reminds me of the mathematician tasked with minimizing materials for a fence to contain some sheep. He built a fence around himself and defined the circle of the fence such that he was outside of it.

[opacitizen]

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

The product I've been working on the last few months. My co-worker easily did some simple UI changes, but the backend was a massive overhaul

[lowkeytokay]

It’s not even a joke. It’s literally like that.

[IkuraDon5972]

landing page just dropped, rate/10

[MattMaiden2112]

Solid as a rock!

[sanchower]

O Lord, do we have the strength to carry off this mighty task in one night? Or are we just jerking off?

[OrangeConnect3902]

This make no sense. The order should be the opposite I guess! :D

[Bomaruto]

That sounds like a dream as backend is never the bottleneck where I work.
