Just discovered that one of my coworkers(well...my boss really) has the uncanny ability to detect fonts and sizes with extreme accuracy.

For some of you that may be not impressive at all and some can probably do it too. But its like...not only on websites man...she can do it on things that we see printed, menus and stuff.

That to me at least is very impressive.

rant

i think that is pretty cool

    My father used to work on an newspaper and was responsible for page layout and fitting the content, choosing fonts and sizes. 40 years later, he can still do this stuff.

    That could fit in the definition of "cool but useless super powers"

    Turn on display scaling, and watch her short circuit.

    @JKyll I wouldn't call it useless as a web developer or designer.
    Imagine you have some text at 12 (at some scale, be it px, pt or w/e). But you think it's too small. You'd probably hit the correct size in the first correction.

    I would probably take like 4-5 tries because I have no fucking clue about that stuff 😂

    I can tell if it's serif or sans serif, but that's about it. My designer on the other hand is awesome and can always tell when I missed a style.

    @JKyll not really if you are a designer(which she is btw, our manager is the designer of the group and everything she designs we have to make real) and specially not useless when you get down to business with the code.

    I love those skills people earn by expirience, but thats what happens if you do it x years.

    One junior coworker had a 27" 4k monitor, and i am able to spot 1px unalignments like a super mutant while he needs a magnifier.

    I'll spot Comic Sans and double spaces anywhere.
