Client:
โHey Victor, just one quick changeโฆโ
Developer:
๐
Sometimes it really is quick.
Change text.
Replace an image.
Adjust a button.
Done.
And sometimes that โquick changeโ affects:
Desktop.
Tablet.
Mobile.
CSS.
Another section.
A plugin.
The header.
A third-party integration.
And somehowโฆ
something completely unrelated stops working. ๐
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 yesโฆ
I’ll happily make the โquick change.โ
I’ll just never trust those two words again. ๐
Developers, what’s the most ridiculous โquick changeโ you’ve ever received?
