Printer-friendly, not programmer-friendly [modified]
-
If your product manager asked you to make a printer-friendly version of a webpage, how would you choose to implement it? (A) Add a "print" parameter to your query string. In your CGI code, add IF statements where appropriate. (B) Add a
@media printsection to the stylesheet. (C) Write a 200-line Javascript function to walk through the DOM tree to remove unwanted navigational elements. No points for guessing which choice was made by the previous maintainer of one of the web apps I'm working on now.modified on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:07 PM

(D) Say, if you want it to print nice, don't use a webpage. Or maybe that's just me.

Let me guess, he picked (C) :suss:
"The clue train passed his station without stopping." - John Simmons / outlaw programmer "Real programmers just throw a bunch of 1s and 0s at the computer to see what sticks" - Pete O'Hanlon "Not only do you continue to babble nonsense, you can't even correctly remember the nonsense you babbled just minutes ago." - Rob Graham

and he wrote a buggy code to jeopardize the system and crash the user's browser to be appreciated by the management and promoted as a 'Technical Manager'. :omg: :wtf:

And. You should know by now that macho-programmers don't take the easy route when you can write hundreds of lines of redundant code. It's a system or developing known as Advanced Redundant System Enhanced Helping Online Lexical Expressions.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Good guess. I showed him how to do (B) today, and he was impressed at how much simpler it was.

Cool. Hopefully, he learned from your example :)

You mean A.R.S.E.H.O.L.E., right? :laugh:
