@Codeschubse assuming you refer to website popups asking for permission to molest you - I assume, coders are not guilty of that, rather the UX-Psychos who invented all the dark pattern shit...

* Dear project managers

@Codeschubse

And the opposite of "Do you love our app?" is not "mandatory text response explaining why in detail".

@Codeschubse I'll just ask you again when there is an update that, without consent, resets all your preferences.

@Codeschubse Not that I care a lot, but I think that is probably not an idea that the actual software developers are to blame for.

@Codeschubse gilt auch für Männer.
#neinheißtnein

their answert, I guess:

"Yes, but later."

@Codeschubse sometimes, I have a dream: in every meeting at $company, there's one person whose ony duty is to check whether some shittification might just be about to happen.
And if they detect such a case, they punch the responsible person. In their face. Until they are reasonable again.

@Codeschubse

Are you sure ?

@Codeschubse It is the coding equivalent of "have you stopped kicking your dog?" There's no accurate option.

@Codeschubse looking at you @element

No I will not ever verify your stupid account

@Codeschubse Change the prompt to:

"Can we put our penis into you? [Yes] [Ask Later]"

then you have the perfect corollary to the worst dudebro behavior, guys that just won't take no for an answer. But now they're product managers.

@Codeschubse Software developer here. Sadly, it is not us who are to blame 😞

@Codeschubse @dbdean those developers are going to hell. https://aus.social/@Unixbigot/113821011025968499

@Codeschubse@ohai.social Wow, first time I read this I completely misunderstood it. I thought you were talking about how devs reply to feature requests, when there are people requesting a feature, who won't accept no for an answer, but will have changed their priorities in 2 days anyway...

@Codeschubse @catsalad Please. No dev ever came up with that little slice of heaven. That stupidity came from PM.

@Codeschubse
I wonder if they realize how much this type of wording infuriates people. One of the biggest things for me is Discord. I don't like having to download and install a new .deb package nearly every week but the thing that makes me hate the company with the burning passion of a thousand suns is that every single time they tell me that it's because it's my lucky day.

@Codeschubse probably not software developer, but marketing and design push by c-level & a greedy board of investors.

@Codeschubse
Me, rubbing my finger, now sore from bashing it on the "favorite" button, watching all the developers jump in whining "but, but, but ... / not our faulllllt..."

@Codeschubse It's the product managers that are the evil ones, the dev just do what was detailed for them.

@Codeschubse It's not the devs, it's the marketers.

Fucking marketers.

@Codeschubse 👀 looking at Microsoft

@Codeschubse It is awful that those in tech do not understand consent.

@Codeschubse i think your talking about PMs and mbas not SWE

@Codeschubse
I wonder if the roots of this come from the japanese inability to say "no" to any request. You may get a "maybe". But never a "no".

@Codeschubse Dear rest of the world: we know. So do our UI/UX experts. Please direct this message to upper management.

@Codeschubse It is a fine third option, but it's an extra option on top of Yes & No

@Codeschubse google has been asking me if I wouldn’t rather be using the Gmail app instead of the web site for roughly 10 years.

@Codeschubse More sounds like a management decision, than a developer decision

@Codeschubse That's not a developer's decision. They've been reprogrammed by someone from Marketing.

@Codeschubse

But is it "OK"?

@Codeschubse this isn't software developers faults, it's management.

@Codeschubse When asking someone out, too.

@Codeschubse software developers have as much to do with what the labels say as street sign painters have a choice in what to paint on the street.

@Codeschubse someone should make a yin and yang symbol, but yin is "maybe later"
