Programming excuses
- ArekDymalski 11y ago"It's not a code problem - our users need more training" Oh, yeah... EDIT: the more I refresh this page the more I think it should be called excuses for lazy coders and designers: You can't use that version on your system You must have done something wrong Why do you want to do it that way? Anyway, it's a nice, painfully accurate collection ...

- xiaq 11y agoActually, that's a feature (One of the execuses)
- orf 11y agoI would love a list of all the excuses, they look great in error pages. I made a quick script[1] to scrape the site, but that's not as nice as a plaintext file that could just be downloaded? Edit: Here[2] is a complete list 1. https://gist.github.com/orf/87825a18e6685144ae3b https://gist.github.com/orf/87825a18e6685144ae3b 2. https://gist.github.com/orf/db8eb0aaddeea92dfcab https://gist.github.com/orf/db8eb0aaddeea92dfcab
- baseballmerpeak 11y agoWhat did you type in wrong to get it to crash?
- orf 11y ago"Well, at least it displays a very pretty error"

- jtrider 11y agoMy scrape results seem to have elicited a few more... https://gist.github.com/anonymous/69e8ad93f9f6aba25c8d https://gist.github.com/anonymous/69e8ad93f9f6aba25c8d
- Mojah 11y agoX-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.9 Seriously? :-)
- Redoubts 11y agoWhat did I tell you about using parts of the system you don't understand? This got a smile out of me.
- joeax 11y agoI worked with a developer who would say "it worked on my box" that meant it was gold and he refused to investigate further. He was connected to the CEO so there was little we could do except work around his bugs or ignore completely.
- glhaynes 11y agoThis is one more reason a continuous integration system is wonderful. If it works on a developer's box but breaks the integration, it's broken by definition. (No warranty is expressed or implied that the CEO will see it that way, of course!)
- mkagenius 11y agoAre they really excuses? Most of them look pretty genuine.

- ams6110 11y agoIt's missing Google's "That's an error. That's all we know."
