More idiot developers

every once in a while I notice things that make no sense...

today it was Home Depot web site search page...

If you're searching for a bookcase and the depth is something you want to filter on - you get 100 choices to choose from!!!  Ranging from 0.98 in to 14.09 in with lots of choices in between!

I particularly like that there is one that is 11.8100004196167 in" deep...    One rogue depth is "10-5/8", how did a fractional value get in the list?

For some reason, depth and width (seem to be about 50 widths but it's very tedious to extract from the bloated html) are filtered based on exact measurement, but height got categorized into 5 categories:

All developers should be locked into rooms and forced to accomplish real life tasks using the product of their work...

Oh, and the html alone is 697,721 bytes, the html for the depth filter list alone is 1000 lines and 45K bytes.  And people wonder why their PC seems to be slower...

rant for the day..

Yeah, I know some framework puked out all that html but no one looked at the finished product and asked "is this reasonable to present to the users?"
