Poor Code, Poor User Interfaces
Over the past 5 years or so, I’ve amassed at Checkerboard a collection of screenshots called the “Error Hall of Fame”. (Well, I can’t take credit for everything in there, but I think that the majority of contributions are mine.) They include errors like “An error occurred”, “An attempt was made to remember a device that had previously been remembered”, and many other goodies that I can’t remember off the top of my head. I ought to post some of them online for the rest of the world at some point.
However, other people have their own collections of things that are just plain broken. One that I read occasionally features some very Broken Code. I know I’ve seen other horrible-interfaces and horrible-error-messages sites out on the web somewhere at some point, but I can’t seem to find any at the moment. Does anyone else know of any offhand?
