I didn't take it as humour because it wasn't funny. It's that simple.

RE: Web developer vs software developer
As a web developer, I find that list absolutely idiotic. Just because it may be true for you, or your friends, or the people you've worked with, doesn't mean the rest of us don't actually know what we're talking about.
-
Do I think that appearance is more important than an application that is useful - useful applications are of course desired. But when your client will not sign off and let you start coding until you agree to implement x stupid features, you don't get a choice.
-
Have I ever asked an online forum "I have check box. How to get into database? Plz send d codz" - Speak for yourself, maybe.
- What's a data model? I don't need one if it looks pretty, right? - Again, speak for yourself.
-
I don't think you need anything more than XML to store stuff - After you just mentioned databases two points above? What?
-
I am confident constructing SQL at the client side and passing it back to the server - You might like giving people all the tools necessary to destroy into your database, but I don't.
-
Javascript means I can stop crap getting to my back end - Some of us are smart enough to realize that people disable Javascript. You don't sound like you fit into that category.
-
MySQL Teh rox - I like it and use it.
-
I have a stupid goatee - I'm female and no I don't. Neither do any of the male developers I work with.
-
I think it's great to have menus poping up all over the place making my users throw the mouse around like a mad thing. - what?
-
Keyboard entry should be illegal - it gets in the way of my really clever transition effects. I don't care if it's unusable -again, what?
-
You can never have too many different kinds of date controls. Typing in dd/mm/yyyy means I don't get to show off my 733t javascript skilz - You use the date controls your client signs off on. Usually this takes the form of dropdown boxes, like 99.9999% of the websites on the internet.
-
I get all excited when I achieve something that non-web applications have taken for granted for years (e.g. a drop down list connected to a text edit box, a rich text editor etc.) - satisfied yes. Excited no.
-
I have designed a user interface whos use is completely different to everything else in the known universe. Ha! totally unique! I don't care though - it's bound to be better than anything else anyone has ever thought of. - Designers don't generally develop, so I have no idea why this fits into a 'web developer' category.
-
Stateless stuff rox. Gotta be stateless to be Enterprizey! However I will write a billion lines of code in order to maintain state throughout the use of my application. - that and most web development languages generally ARE stateless....
-
Layers. Can't have enough layers. - what?
-
I don't think anyone should have the name O'Brien, O'Riely etc. If I ever find that cunt Bobby O' Drop Tables I'll kill the fucker. - just because you don't know how to escape your strings...
-
I will take the credit for any web application even though all the clever stuff is in the back end - who said the web developer didn't do the back end? o.O
-
Timeouts are a "security feature". Nothing to do with statelessness. Ahem. - For a lot of financial sites, they are a security feature.
-
My site is so important you have to log on. - When you're dealing with credit card information, yes.
-
I don't have a conflict writing the same thing 85 different times for different browsers and then claim to be platform independent out of the box. - what?
-
Everything is a string. - No.
-
I must change my development methodology/code library/framework every 2 months so I am incapable of actually building anything with any degree of stability - only if you suck.
-
I do not need to understand data, databases, data integrity, transactions or consistentcey. Look! The little icon whirls round and the page doesn't even refresh after you press the button!!!111oneone! Please do not press the button twice though. - only if you suck.
-
I live in 'web time'. Gimmie a screen over a well thought out requirement any time and give it to me NOW!! - I'd rather build a HTML page to a screenshot that the client has approved, rather than getting a wall of text on what the client wants on the page and then having to redo it later when they don't like the look of it.
-
My talents are misunderstood by LoztInSpace - obviously, because I have talents and you appear not to.

RE: Google requires Internet Explorer
@Pidgeot said:
If there is a DOCTYPE, it'll trigger standards-compliant rendering.
Not necessarily. There's a whole range of doctypes both new and old that will force both IE and FF into quirks mode.

RE: Find your country game
It's Serena.... makers of the god-awful Collage software. You expected something sane?

RE: US DMV WTF
The European system sounds crazy...
The whole concept of a national ID card keeps getting brought up over here in Australia as well. So far, common sense has prevailed and it hasn't been introduced.
Here, drivers licences are issued by states but recognized nationally. I hold a Victorian licence (well, learners permit, I never bothered going to sit for a full licence) but that licence has served me well as photo identification, proof of age, etc. for nearly ten years across all states. I can't actually use it to drive interstate (if it was a full licence, I could), but it does everything else I need it to do.
Though I'm lucky enough to live in a country with no international land borders, so a lot of the Europe/US issues really don't apply here.

when the PS2 was released over here, it was the Region 1 PS2. It seems not even Sony bothered in producing a Region 4 version,
uh.... region 4 isn't just Mexico and South America, mate. Region 4 PS2s are alive and well, two of which are in my house.

Dude, LOLCODE is awesome :D

RE: That's what SMARTY were designed for...
This is the best thread I've seen on this forum in all my lurking.
I don't like Smarty, but I work with a lot of people that do. They swear by it, I just hope I'm never asked to maintain any of their sites.
