Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.

The sign in the right says "bees", but the picture shows a creature with eight legs, two body segments, and no wings. That's no bee, that's a spider!

Hiding the emergency release behind a panel should be illegal. These things are death traps.

I saw that happen once in a big presentation.

There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but "cancel" is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.

I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

This isn't funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.

If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home.

My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.

If it's really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it's perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.

In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.
