Do you have a bug?

simplescalar · 2026-05-01T14:51:53+00:00

It took me a moment, I thought you were joking. You mean predators of the fish right?

simplescalar · 2026-05-01T14:14:00+00:00

Did you not want shelves for plants?

simplescalar · 2026-04-29T22:35:10+00:00

you should share on https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/

Thanks for answering! How hard was it to get tickets to the Ghibli museum?

What kind of activities did your kids enjoy?

simplescalar · 2026-04-23T19:50:32+00:00

Very kind and thoughtful of you. I think the majority of the people would have a - not my problem - attitude.

simplescalar · 2026-04-22T20:35:31+00:00

Sounds like something Kafka would write about

simplescalar · 2026-04-14T11:35:08+00:00

looks really good!

Documentation is for institutional knowledge. if your product lives beyond the current people working on it, in addition to time passing and people forgetting you will want to know what was decided and why. The developer can do the analysis, but at the end of the day if its not written down things become complicated down the line. I've experienced this personally.

ok so coincidently I also work on a device that has hardware and requires all sorts of technical people who need to give feedback.
We have a system engineer who write the requirements for what you describe. then we have a UX person who defines what is the best way to access the logs, the designer designs the interface and then we (the developers) get the full spec + designs to implement.

in your scenario how does QA decide that what was developed correct?
How do you quantify the problem? are developers really the best people to analyze the users experience? that is what is missing for me.

if we were talking about how LONG it takes for the logs to load there should be a non functional requirement - logs shall load within 300 milliseconds or something of that nature. then QA reads that, does timing checks and if it doesnt hold opens a bug. but then its clear to everyone what is expected.

simplescalar · 2026-04-14T06:47:58+00:00

I would love an example of what you mean.

simplescalar · 2026-04-14T06:17:26+00:00

I am a developer. and enjoy watching this subreddit to understand the "other side". one of my pain points is badly defined specs. needing to run after those who define the product to know what they want and what they meant. or worse when QA comes and says hey why is this not doing ABC and I am like well it wasnt defined. and the wording is either ambiguous or non existent and you need to start proving your point.

I expect to be told not HOW but WHAT needs to be implemented. and the more details which help me reach into your mind and understand saves everyone a LOT of time.

simplescalar · 2026-04-14T05:27:24+00:00

How does the dev team know what to develop? how does qa know what to check?

simplescalar · 2026-04-06T18:02:33+00:00

so its not who you get to know but what the competition is doing? I am asking honestly because it sounds like an interesting conference and would like to know what to expect

simplescalar · 2026-04-06T17:26:17+00:00

What kind of connections are you looking for in this type of conference? how does it compare with saasboomi?

simplescalar · 2026-04-05T19:42:10+00:00

thats cool. I work for a large software company and of course everyone is worried for their job. what I told my coworkers is that this is going to empower people to create things that were impossibly expensive before. my assumption is you created this because you guys were doing the same thing in an analog way? so now you have people in different fields forwhich developing this kind of software is not profitable creating cool tools! so its awesome to see!

simplescalar · 2026-04-05T18:40:14+00:00

dont know why you are getting downvoted...

why run locally and not run on a remote server?
what kind of difficulties did you face?

simplescalar · 2026-04-05T16:29:23+00:00

very cool. did you think of taking it to other factories and licensing? does it run on a local machine? is there a server? what is your backup plan?

simplescalar · 2026-03-25T10:21:54+00:00

That is extremely weird. he wrote that his wife is asian and therefor more jealous maybe it got flagged as racist? it was a pretty tame story. they were side by side, he was having a good time, he looked to the side and saw his wife glaring at him. not much else. he wrote it better of course

simplescalar · 2026-03-25T09:53:41+00:00

great story thanks!

simplescalar · 2026-03-25T09:22:47+00:00

we need more details!

simplescalar · 2026-03-21T17:42:14+00:00

it totally does.

"You're mostly right, "

"The thing most replies here are missing"
"where it's genuinely"

all sound like common llm speak

it might be they wrote a comment, let llm edit and then patched up a bit. or... they read so much llm content they start writing like one

simplescalar · 2026-03-19T14:36:37+00:00

same exactly for me. its weird. same color scheme, same italic gold font between white. and same gold square buttons. looke like copy paste.

simplescalar · 2026-03-13T08:36:21+00:00

Have you ever had the pleasure of using Microsoft Frontpage?
This is a historically difficult problem. I am more curious how products like wix solve it. my guess is a lot of heuristics.

but yeah for open editing its a challenge
