What pisses you off? [NSFW - language]

[Renegade]

Well, everyone has been through it. You fart around and waste time and then you finally find the answer...

What pisses me off is API methods that don't work. I spend hours trying to do what should take minutes.

Here's a recent example:

Code: C# [Select]

1. // This doesn't fucking work:
2. //wv.LoadData (html, "text/html", null);
3. // Spent fucking hours trying to get around that shit when I finally found this:
4. // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3312643/android-webview-utf-8-not-showing
5. // Jesus fuck... why can't shit just work?
6. wv.LoadDataWithBaseURL (null, html, "text/html", "utf-8", null);

Yes. That is what I write in my code. Or at least before I release any code that is open.

It's just damn annoying to waste so much time on something that has been in since API level 1 and I'm testing at level 12. Sheesh...

Thing is, this kind of stuff happens pretty regularly.

Another pet peeve is people that necro-thread things gone past 4 or 5 years ago...

Pet Peeve of mine is people who have pet peeves with people who necro-thread things ;-)

Overly complicated answers.

I kind of think that I should have been more explicit about "things" being programming things...

This should be an interesting thread ... two (2) peevish people  and a jeep  .

I just went straight for the lowest common denominator: people create things, people use things, people buy things, people imagine things, people cause things to happen

Get rid of people and things won't piss you off.....simple.
