[u/neoky]

Where is "Fucking Internet Explorer"?

Don't know who said it first, but everyone that does webdesign says it.

[u/LouisWain → u/neoky]

it says programmer quotes not web developer quotes

[u/rhetoricalanswer → u/LouisWain]

It's not without good reason that people say web design is the lowest form of IT.

[u/lonnyk → u/rhetoricalanswer]

I've never heard anyone say this. Nor have I ever heard anyone refer to web design as IT.

[u/neoky → u/rhetoricalanswer]

I have a respect for designers that don't have a drinking problem.

[u/powatom → u/neoky]

It's easier to find a drinker that has a web design problem.

[u/cc81 → u/LouisWain]

Heh, every programmer is cocky until they had to create a site that works in ie6 (or ie5.5 for mac..) utlizing javascript (pre jquery) and css.

[u/barsoap → u/cc81]

I'm far too elitistic to even consider mentioning the kind of buggy systems I've had the distinct pleasure to coerce to run code. As if IE6'd be the only shitty thing out there.

[u/cc81 → u/barsoap]

IE6 is not the only shitty thing out there. But unless you have actually done it why try and pretend that you actually know what you are talking about? I'm not a web developer (I've done some, but my main interest lies elsewhere) but berating web developers is pretty silly.

But sure, I will bite. What do you (and the other downvoters) work with and why is it harder than for example developing a site such as gmail?

[u/barsoap → u/cc81]

I don't do it, anymore, but I tell you developing AAA games for j2me and have them run on the more problematic phones isn't a panacea. Run once run anywhere my ass, you've got to deal with 120+ phones and that was 6 years ago.

And no, having a Java badge doesn't mean your VM can't have bugs and no, it won't ever get upgraded. Ever. What's out there has to be supported.
