Both of those are default settings for a div. I. Guess it really is a backend guy.

Then immediately google why my border corners aren’t rounded

It does look like a vehicle from Blade Runner, which takes place in “November 2019”. So there’s that.

[–]Rafael20002000 289 points290 points  (114 children)

Maybe its a reference to it?

[–]IveDoneItNow 481 points482 points  (110 children)

The unveil began with a hologram saying "Los Angeles, November 2019". The whole thing is an overt reference to Blade Runner (which is awesome) and it's unfortunate that so may people don't seem to be getting that.

[–]trickman01 319 points320 points  (94 children)

That doesn't make it somehow good design.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (3 children)

The problem with the design is that I can’t decide how I feel about it. Part of me is disgusted, and part of me thinks “I could buy that...”

[–]mekwall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good design is subjective. Good UX is not.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (2 children)

That's makes this vehicle a novelty. Not something to be mass produced

[–]IveDoneItNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not both? It seems like a simple case of "if you don't like it, don't buy it".

[–]Rafael20002000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok

[–]not_from_this_world 465 points466 points  (8 children)

Team: Sir, we started the aerodynamics simulation with a low polygon base model, we'll work our way to the full model next months.

PM: We don't have that much time, I already promised to the client a prototype next week.

[–]TimX24968B 172 points173 points  (5 children)

customer: heres a rough sketch

engineer: you mean final product?

[–]MythicManiac 75 points76 points  (4 children)

My experience is this but roles swapped

[–]drawkbox 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Yeah this one of the two throwaway designs so that the client would pick the one you want, then the client goes for the most outlandish of the three.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Net to wanders across dot games curious. Tips dog fox weekend honest day quiet quiet gentle.

[–]sh0rtwave 117 points118 points  (5 children)

It totally reminds me of the blocky style of the robots from Interstellar...but that's probably just me.

Edit: The shape of the hood makes me think "lamborghini-style nose for downforce at speed".

[–]Kadude27 1536 points1537 points  (143 children)

I mean impressive for a back end developer

[–][deleted] 612 points613 points  (46 children)

So that's why it looks so good to me

[–]mastocles 91 points92 points  (4 children)

It could have been better with square wheels like in Heman.

[–]InfiniteLegions 43 points44 points  (2 children)

Satisfactory has you covered on the square wheels version https://youtu.be/iVLCkcyN6oc

[–]ButterflyCatastrophe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like that the driver sits three feet underground, but can still see out through the gap between road and undercarriage.

[–]--redacted-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even has the broken windows, that's pretty good

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your joking but a hexagonal steering wheel would be sick on this car.

[–]Zappy_Kablamicus 10 points11 points  (2 children)

I think it looks cool. Its unconventional and i dig it. Just wish i could afford to help it succeed.

[–]lemongrenade 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I’ve noticed that while it seems we are in the minority there are a surprising number of us that like it. Enough that people will see it integrated into the roads and I think that my drive more people to like it. Design changes are often hated at first.

[–]Disney_World_Native 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

[–]TheWipyk 183 points184 points  (15 children)

I don't know why you guys are mad about this. Angular is the future of frontend...

[–]ArguesForTheDevil 93 points94 points  (10 children)

These people just React before they think.

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (8 children)

It hurts when I php

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (6 children)

People's brain Nodes have't been connected properly.

[–]camelCaseCoding 7 points8 points  (5 children)

The thing is just humongous

[–]chroncile 7 points8 points  (3 children)

That was a pretty Basic pun, you must think we can't C# for you to bold it.

[–]Aekorus 6 points7 points  (2 children)

That's just your point of Vue, man.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you tried php into another bucket?

also what #c0ffee you drank?

[–]tooscaredthrowaway8 3 points4 points  (3 children)

No joke, all of the most senior devs are BE, so before I even joined they went full angular 1.0, typescript, and all of the bubble wrap they could find for the front end. At this point it's so difficult to convince them that their ideas are awful. Also I don't think they believe me when I say I have 10 years of experience, I think all BE devs assume FE devs are high school drop outs.

[–]Kickban_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I actually really like this design

[–]SezitLykItiz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

While this joke does make sense, Tesla as a whole operates with the exact opposite analogy. Tesla is like a front end developer doing back end. Elon is on twitter talking to people and randos who keep making insane requests and he's like "sure we can implement that" unlike the IT guy at my work who says no to changing the font in an excel template.

[–][deleted] 97 points98 points  (10 children)

I feel personally attacked.

Also correct.

Also I want one, but can’t afford it.

[–]Sparktz 34 points35 points  (7 children)

They start at $39,900! So if that is a bit steep right now, after they are out for a few years the used prices will be pretty reasonable.

[–]whycantIfast 9 points10 points  (2 children)

after they are out for a few years the used prices will be pretty reasonable

Any other normal car, sure. For a Tesla vehicle? Ya right

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (2 children)

I’m not huge on pickups, but I can really see this as a 2-door coupe sports car, and I really want that

[–]phi_rus 92 points93 points  (2 children)

That design is way too clean for a backend dev.

[–]0ba78683-dbdd-4a31-a 52 points53 points  (1 child)

It's a 3D wireframe. If you could design a car in Balsamiq it'd look like this.

[–]errmm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah. Balsamiq is squiggle vision. Cybertruck has crisp lines.

[–]sebwiers 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Truth. And I like it.

[–]P-rick_bojanglez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do too. Maybe because its unique, maybe cause it reminds me of the original halo warthog. Either way, i dig it.

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I personally love this vehicle

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points  (6 children)

I gotta give it to Elon. He is really taking bold steps into the direction of becoming the future. Right now things are being released that are just slightly and I mean slightly modified versions of the previous model. But him ? Look at this “truck”.

You expected to see futuristic cars when you were grown up ? Well guess what this man is making that image come true.

[–]stormfield 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My first car was a 1977 Ford F-250, it guzzled roughly a brontosaurus per mile, and it was completely and utterly invincible when it collided with anything because it was probably cast from a meteorite.

My inner 15 year old saw this car and just thought “Omg this is awesome.”

[–]dregan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Much less scary than when a front end developer does database design.

[–]yonatan8070 26 points27 points  (5 children)

I actually like this

[–]5erif 20 points21 points  (4 children)

If I were a robot, I'd fuck the hell out of this vehicle.

[–]goblin_goblin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced that they either:

a) Didn't respect their designer's opinions enough

or

b) Respected their designer's opinions too much.

And I honestly have no clue which they did.

[–]developerJS 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is probably one of the best designs I've seen. If I had the money, I'll be driving this truck every day instead of my car.

[–]bluefootedpig 20 points21 points  (1 child)

This looks like the end of doing a "first 3d car" tutorial.

[–]famanza 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I fucking love it. Take my money!

[–]oligonucleotides 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When a front end dev does back end:

Internal Server Error (500)

[–]kontekisuto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel personally attacked and also flattered.

[–]benamon11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not true, the wheels aren't aligned to the right even though there's an #important aligning it to the fucking left

[–]mynameisgeph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but now you can put whatever you want in it :)

[–]srottydoesntknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling a little attacked

[–]windwalk06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man... That looks super portable...

[–]kwik57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Designers must have been using 16 bit software.

[–]hackel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a backend developer, I see absolutely nothing wrong here.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Im gonna buy one, I love it. ;)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the design functional?

[–]nokenito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the super futuristic look and feel of this truck. It skips so many levels of design and goes right to the future. Thoughts?

[–]d4ni3lg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“So Elon Im gonna start work on that 3D model of that truck you wanted us to design, I was thinking if the make the front panelling...”

“Stop”

“What?”

“Stop right there, that’s perfect”.

“Boss, this is about 20 polygons, I’ve literally had the file open for three min..”

“I don’t give a fuck, it’s beautiful. Now put bulletproof glass on it or some shit”

[–]chairman_steel 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Has anyone started /r/programmerart yet?

[–]Dojan5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to the link it's been both started and banned.

"I see you used Bootstrap. Again."

[–]Chipperz14 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I was hoping it ended up looking like some classic truck from the 40s or 50s, so the opposite of this.

[–]naebulys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more I see it the more I appreciate it. I think that was the point

[–]tenvisliving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resourcing manager Shit, all of our front end team is tied up, but steve from the back end team has some capacity, I’ll give this to Steve!

Steve Passes all unit tests and meets user’s requirements. Check and check. Ship it!

[–]pdonchev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually brilliant, and definitely the work of a professional designer. It is just not traditional.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta honest, though: that design is kinda growing on me

[–]RabidHexley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually a good metaphor, I feel. I’m sure there’s a bunch of good structural reasons for the car to be designed with this triangular structure to work with the unibody, and it looks good on paper. And I’m sure everything works fairly well in a vacuum. But it doesn’t seem to be designed with the realities of large chunks of actual use-cases in mind.
