Putting out a bounty on the person who implemented this infuriating lift display.
Bring them to me dead or alive - I just want their laptop with the source code so I can fix it

RandyMongenel@bitbang.social@jonty Of all the things you could get actually infuriated by, the numbering scheme on a lift display seems pretty insignificant.

f4grx@chaos.social@jonty but it's logical, the lowest numbered floor disappears at tbe bottom!
But it's infuriating yes, I agree.

yngmar@social.tchncs.de@jonty Product manager: *sniffs* *rubs coke from nostril* Lol, lets make the numbers sliiiiide
Firmware programmer: Uh ok, maybe we can do that, I guess.
Firmware programmer, later, at his desk: I guess I can make a sprite with the new number and the old number together and then shift that into the display. While also having the stupid animated arrow from last meeting. Fuck it, I hate that guy and my pay is crap, I'll just do this instead...
