That moment where you finally convince your boss it's not worth fixing, and then you instantly think of a way to easily solve it.

"easily" solve it.
FTFY
The annoying thing is, when it's happened it's been like a day's work tops. Making your initial declaration of "can't be done without rewriting all of it" look very silly.
It usually involves working backwards from unholy abomination the sales team, your manager and the customer fucked into existence between them, and just find out what problem the customer actually wants solving.
How some people are in comments. Always gotta get that one last comment in the chain in.
I disagree
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, your opinion, man.
Yes.
No
YES!
I will never let it go!
Story of my life
Is there actually a limit to how far a comment thread can go?
I don't think so.
it just continues forever until the ui either fails or doesnt
Or until someone of us here stops commenting
Two reply from two people at the exact same time. Do I need to answer both of you to win now?
Btw really nice meme.
Nah, one is enough. ^^ Curiosity got the better of me thinking about how squished the UI might end up looking.
Thanks for allowing me to only write one comment all the time.
Yeah, one comment keeps it simple. We're just stress testing.
We're in the third rainbow, keep building more stripes lol
No worrys. I will never stop.
And we're about to enter the fourth rainbow dimension in the next comment...
Y'all done yet?
No!
Oh, it's still going!
Of course!
Alright, looks like 40% filled up on my screen atm.
Rookie numbers, it's probably 15% on my screen, There's space for a lot more rainbows
My screen is used 50% now on my Fairphone 3+
I hope we're all talking about portrait orientation. Oh boy, filling it up in landscape mode seems a daunting task. °!°
In my App landscape is the same because it makes splitscreen between the Post and the comment section. So the comments are the same width.
I see, somehow completely forgot that apps might be different. In browser version in landscape (I just noticed) there's also the right sidebar, which reserves some space. So it wouldn't even have to go all the way.
It's getting really tight here.
Plenty of space for me still (browser version on desktop)
Yea the moment I have no space here anymore I have to switch to desktop.
Let's start the sixth rainbow!
Leeeeets goooo
Nice, bit over half way point here.
I just calculated exact subpixel accuracy, for me it's exactly 20.5̅9̅5̅5̅3̅3̅4̅9̅8̅7̅5̅9̅3̅0̅5̅2̅1̅0̅9̅1̅8̅1̅1̅4̅1̅4̅3̅9̅2̅0̅ % that is still missing to fill the whole comment body with rainbows, way to go!
Thats not accurate anymore because of my reply. Recalculate please.
I do wonder if there's a hard limit at some point regarding "nested replies"...
