non-programmer project managers who decide on their own how long a project will take and present that as a deadline to their coders.

project managers who insist that you drop your critical modifications to the database structure, or your fix of the memory leak, because the GUI's colour scheme needs to be fixed *now*.

web designers who design a page so badly they force horizontal scrolling

web designers who believe "cross-browser" means compatible with "both" browsers

programmers who believe "cross-platform" means compatible with Win9x and NT/2k

monks who post really long lines of code in a SoPW, forcing me to scroll horizontally. (for instance, a 200-character hex string to be unpacked.)

monks who frontpage really long lines of code in a SoPW, forcing me to scroll horizontally.

all the stupid $@#! users where I work, who turn off their UPSs and wonder why their computers suddenly go dark and won't turn on, who get confused when they see a "You may now safely turn off your computer" message because they don't know where the power button is, much less the reset button.

|; # # UPDATE: reformatted code and pushed some stuff push @hellions, qw |

programmers who write version checking using == instead of >=

programmers who write stuff that's not backwards-compatible, therefore requiring a == version check.

|; # /UPDATE print '<ul>', map { "<li>There's a level of Hell reserved for $_.</li>" } @hellions , '</li>';

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
