Manager: This dropdown is hard to use on mobile

Dev: I thought building this for mobile wasn’t in the scope?

Manager: I changed my mind. It’s a lot easier for me to test on mobile so just rework it so it works on mobile. But only for testing.

Dev: How about I make the dropdown a rotary dial instead?

Manager: Good idea!

Dev: …

Regarding your previous and this rant....

Did you know doctors can put people in psychiatric care for 24 h plus?

Murders cost less than 500 US - $ in some states....

Insulin is a great utility for murder.

Dunno why ... Just random thoughts.

But… dropdowns are already wheels on mobile. At least on ios. Are you talking about android? Why not just use standard contols? They should automatically adopt to the platform and be optimized for it.

@Lensflare It’s a web app and it’s a library dropdown so not using native api it’s javascript smoke and mirrors.

@IntrusionCM only if the person is diabetic and has recently changed the meds.

@stop no....Insulin can be overdosed and fatal. Hypoglycemia.

@IntrusionCM an person who dies with an insulin overdose that kills him so fast that you can't be arrested.
We have two base scenarios here:
1. The person was never diabetic and dies of an overdose of an medicament that he was never prescribed and there is no evidence of an type 1 or type 2. You are in trouble.
2. He is diabetic:
2a. He took it seriously and something to track it. You are in trouble. If you delete or forge the evidence it will be found out. if you don't they will get you
2b. He was sloppy but there is still the point where you need to manipulate the dose without anyones knowledge.

@stop Amateur.

@Root i know some method that are far more useful for this.

How did this derail into discussions about how to murder someone?
