6 Things to consider when creating apps for other developers Kent Sharkey16-Mar-20 9:45 Kent Sharkey 16-Mar-20 9:45  IT Pro Today[^]: Creating apps for developers is--or should be--a lot different than creating apps for the average end user. Good luck - those folk are awful Present company not included, of course Re: 6 Things to consider when creating apps for other developers Mark_Wallace16-Mar-20 10:34 Mark_Wallace 16-Mar-20 10:34  They that plow gripes, and sow bitching, reap the same.

Re: 6 Things to consider when creating apps for other developers Nelek16-Mar-20 11:42 Nelek 16-Mar-20 11:42  The quote is is right... developers are the worst users. Same as Dr. med. are the worst patients. M.D.V. If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

No it shouldn't. Just amazing. You think I, as a developer, want to use the command line??? Morons. Then again, I also don't want ribbon bars with more empty space than actual content.

Herd mentality I really don't get that. Backlit screens were the best thing since cordless kettles (which they probably predated, but I'm not going to waste my precious time and effort changing it to "sliced bread").  Why anyone would want to go back to white text on a black screen is beyond me; the whole "dark mode" thing is a joke. It's either Ludditism or reverse elitism -- I don't care which; I just want it to go away. The only thing I have in dark mode is Steam, but that's only because lighter skins don't work for it, any more -- and that's one of the three reasons* that I would rather buy from any other outlet that has what I want * The others being that you hit too many "You can't get to there from here" moments in the UI, and that it screws up your gamepad controls when you play non-steam games (because it just has to run in the background all the time, doesn't it?  Computers only exist to run bloatware from game shops).
