I got something similar in a requirement specification once:
"Resolution supported: Max" "OS support: The latest one"
π€¦πΌ
I literally got the description "make it look cool" in my current project.
We all know the context and can roughly guess what it means, but still...
Got it. Animated background, GIFs, HTML 4.01 frames, marquee, privacy-friendly ads which are just GIFs linking to other websites. Did I go too far with the last one?
That sounds fucking awesome.
I used to have one like that, only with more tables (using the default border, of course).
It what's later became known a "programmer design".
Why so fancy? Sites like this are famous with millions of views: https://web.archive.org/web/20041229194455/http://www.ikissyou.org/indeks2.html

All wintery themes too as that is the coolest season.
Blink tags and snow effects
Stuff like this is part of why I dropped out of multimedia production in college, I only enjoy that stuff as a hobby for myself, doing it for other people is a creative nightmare lol
The best
Every time I click on this link I listen to all the cymbal tracks
Finally, all that time making the coolest myspace profile pays off!
"OS support: The latest oneβ is not that bad of an requirement...
If they complain like "why doesn't this work on Windows Vista, on IE8" - you can just point to the specs and say you only support the latest OS.
So basically you only support the latest Nightly Build of Ubuntu, since that's the current latest OS
You don't even need to support anything older than the last windows hot fix with requirements like that.
Why support windows when you can argue that linux has a newer OS?
I am humbled by your chess of many D's.
This is completely reasonable, but requires significant CI infrastructure
Honestly, I think that line of thought has a really cute reflection of the person's experience with technology.
