It is Monday morning - a time when I often sit in my office and ponder my poor life choices.
Which brings me to this: CMake sucks. |

The original version (for Windows 3.1) of Formflow. Used it in the Air Force in '94 - '96(ish) for filling out performance reports, and I swear someone designed it as a psychological torture experiment.
The program would lose track of the cursor, meaning that clicking on a line and editing would about 10% of the time result in text being changed one or two lines away from where the cursor was displayed. ANY file command, including save or print, also had about a 10% chance of deleting all of the data in the form and saving the now blank form over whatever file you were working on. In addition in early versions of Windows, printers typically came with their own in fonts,which were installed into the local windows folder and used for display. This meant that when/if you DID get the form completed and tried to print, the results varied significantly from computer to computer depending on what printer was installed. Some reports actually made it into official records with missing lines, because the final printout was done on a different printer that caused a line to spill a single character onto the next line, displacing the last line in a group off the bottom.

Quoted:
All software sucks when it is inappropriately and poorly implemented. Most just don't (won't, really) realize that this is the problem. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile SAP (ess a pah in the words of a former boss) HANA even when implemented to spec sucked. It didn't have HA failover and got alzheimers with in memory data more than once. leaked memory, in an expensive memory appliance. But other than that SAP is awesome, especially the pricing model(s). basis for my hatred of sap goes back to basis. |
