18 month project is winding down. I suspect it will have 1 use in the next 4 years we are supporting it.

The tool is basically a copy of the S3 browser, only shittier. The license for the S3 browser is only 20 bucks btw.

    I once worked on an interface for wifi network selection. The marketing people thought that the scan went too fast and that people would believe in consequence that it wasn’t powerful enough. So they asked me to add an artificial delay (multiple seconds) before showing the results.

      A design professor actually proposed this idea to us. Make the user feel how the computer is working, so they can appreciate the result more.

        Take the same approach with tickets: Finish one in 10 minutes? You just get a new one. Finish the same one in 2 days, and claim “Pff, that was a tough one, but I did it!” - Makes the Product Owner think the Developer is working, and appreciates the result way more
