Client:

โ€œHey Victor, just one quick changeโ€ฆโ€

Developer:

๐Ÿ‘€

Sometimes it really is quick.

Change text.

Replace an image.

Adjust a button.

Done.

And sometimes that โ€œquick changeโ€ affects:

Desktop.

Tablet.

Mobile.

CSS.

Another section.

A plugin.

The header.

A third-party integration.

And somehowโ€ฆ

something completely unrelated stops working. ๐Ÿ˜‚

That’s one thing working in web development teaches you:

Small visible changes don’t always mean small technical changes.

A website is a connected system.

Touch one part and sometimes another part reacts.

It’s also why testing matters so much.

So yesโ€ฆ

I’ll happily make the โ€œquick change.โ€

I’ll just never trust those two words again. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Developers, what’s the most ridiculous โ€œquick changeโ€ you’ve ever received?
