Reading through a tutorial / blog post, getting all excited, then realizing it was dated 5 year ago, and with a completely obsolete version of the library you're working with.

Bloggers, tech doc people, and companies (I'm looking at YOU IBM) really need to at least date and version their articles! Please!

Mind you, search engines will happily serve up older code even when you're being specific (and no, I didn't mean "dance studio").

Is it any wonder developers bristle when high level management admonishes them for not "looking for help earlier"?

Why is it that people that can't program always seem to think they know how long it should take you?

So, I jump in my car, in a hurry to get somewhere. I pull out my phone, start up Waze and ....

it hangs. Won't pay any attention. All I want to do is bring up the keyboard so I can start typing so I can get the address in before I have my hands on the wheel.

Nope, it's busy doing something ... ah, there it goes. What was so important?

"Here's where you are."

Oh ... why thank you, I had no idea I was in my own driveway. Good to know.

ERROR Error: "[object Object]"

How is THAT supposed to be helpful?

So I log into a great new site with my development machine. 64G of RAM, and 2 hex core CPU's; GTX 1070 video, SSD, etc. 4K display screen. (Motherboard is 5 years old, not trying to brag, just give context). I regularly put 8 pages of text on the screen side by side. Split ergonomic keyboard.

It wants me to load a mobile app for "full access".

Yea, why look at the world with wide open eyes when you can view everything through a cardboard toilet paper tube and type with your thumbs???
