In the middle of my workout and all I can focus on is this treadmill display's terrible UI... Looks like a zoom button but actually increases the speed.

You know you're a front-end dev when...

True. It looks like a magnifying glass.

But also I can see you're white and have two hands.

You simply don't get it, clearly it's a flash reference.

;)

I let my self out

Free icon file

Zoom zoom!

Dont reinvent the wheel, just copy and paste it!

@ecv80 there also appears to be a phone with an aluminium back

Also, *cough* "that's racist" - in a triggered tumblr voice

@ecv80 ...and you are a male.

(Please don't be mad @vickylaiio)

@ecv80 @Codebeard Y'all be trippin'.

Hangable offense that.. Imagine if that STOP button was green too!
Haww.. Blasphemy!

@Tored do you work for mazda?

@Tored no, but really do you?

Balancing workout and code day&night is tough, great work

Lol imagine learning what it does the hard way!

Hmmm how many calories have i burnt??
i cant see whats written

Ahhh a zoom button!
Press... nothing,
grrrr *mashes it repeatedly *

OH SHIT WHYYY?!

Haha, I totally get that — I once spent half a run trying to figure out if the blinking icon meant “pause” or “panic.” You know you're a front-end dev when the kerning on a treadmill screen ruins your focus more than the incline. It’s wild how much bad UI sticks out once you’re in this field. Honestly, I end up mentally redesigning half the machines at the gym.

When you’re in the middle of a workout and the treadmill’s display confuses you, it’s clear how important good UI design really is—especially for front-end devs who notice these details instantly. If you’re looking to switch up your routine, I’d recommend checking out BetterMe’s wall Pilates beginner workouts https://betterme.world/articles/....
