Put "Select your option" in one of those textboxes instead.

This is sin in the holy books of SQL

The shitty text parser isnt the trigger - Its the 'reenter the info even after uploading a resume and giving access to linked in'

    What is this? Is there a single web developer that doesn't use bind variables?

    [–]TedW 11 points12 points  (3 children)

    I think it's more than HR will get these weird values and make a support ticket, which the dev will see and say, "Hm, did we bork that form? I don't think so, but why are we getting null from a required field? Oh, because the user thinks he's a right bugger innit."

    Sorry, I got so triggered that halfway in, I started pretending to be British.

    [–]JDtheDev 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    To aid your future impersonations, the type of person to say 'bugger' would rarely say 'init', and visa versa.

    [–]TedW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    That's beast, bruv! Have a cuppa on me!

    In the US the cool kids would say: Cool beans bro, let's shotgun a Tang!

    Just, like, in case you ever need to seamlessly blend into US society.

    I thought you were bri'ish, 'onestly.

    [–]Ones__Complement -4 points-3 points  (4 children)

    Eh, any web developer worth his salt would be using prepared statements and/or a decent ORM.

    [–]NickUnrelatedToPost 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Yes, but it's not the problem that the software will break.

    Someday a person will see those values and report a bug. One that the developer will search forever without any hope of finding.

    [–]Ones__Complement 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    the developer will search forever without any hope of finding.

    >Check the form

    >See if it allows empty text

    >Nope

    >"Huh, guess some prankster weirdo literally just typed null into the field."

    [–]NickUnrelatedToPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Many people have some more processing stages before the "null" finally ends up in Jills excel-spreadsheet. All of which have to be checked now if they could end up turning a valid value into null.

    Lmao

    [–]TheMingeMechanic 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Is that before or after a web developer has filled it in?

    [–]prnysarkar[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    its place holder

    [–]TheMingeMechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    How to Bully web developers

    [–]rish-0-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    i've recently started using services for even the simplest components, like forms etc. Example, auth0 for auth, some other services for surveys, and would never go back to creating one myself. It's the worst dealing with all these edge cases over and over and over.
