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