Designing bad after a bad design...
-
So, after discovering few of the racist tweets from Microsoft's twitter bot TAY, I decided to check out its website[^]. It is such an eye burning design that after looking at the home page for a couple of minutes everything around me seemed to be changing its color :wtf: I mean, look at the color combination and don't forget to re-size your browser window. The Microsoft logo will overlap with social buttons. :laugh: Now I am wondering what was badly designed? website or the bot? I think still latter beats the former. Were the people at Microsoft in a hurry? Is the end of the world around the corner? :doh:

Probably the same reason every dev is in a hurry; the longer you work on something the more expensive it becomes :laugh:

Maybe they just didn't want to have to look at that for too long either? :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Whatt?? I know I slept late today but have I fallen through a time warp to the early '90s. It looks like a very early attempt using notepad, not notepad++!!!!!

Click the "menu" icon in the top-right *shudder* I think what has happened is maybe something that might happen more...I think they've designed a website for use on a mobile device, forgetting that mobiles are not the only way people use the internet.

1990's everyone uses Javascript and websites have gaudy colours with some pages being filled mainly with advertising. 2000's that Javascript you were using can be a security risk so best not use it. Websites become flat, simple and readable. 2010's everyone uses Javascript and websites have gaudy colours with some pages being filled mainly with advertising. ...and the cycle continues...

That website was designed by a VB coder, and probably implemented by the same. It's amazing that Microsoft's QA would let that out in the public. (Honestly, I could always tell VB apps by the garish colors they "skinned" the app with.) Marc
