Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Going to Desktop mode solves this but sheesh. This is not some small business.

I should explain, here's how I ended up on this page:

  • Doing a crossword, answer was "La Scala"
  • So I looked that up, read about the theater on Wikipedia
  • Then I found it on the map
  • Then i checked out pictures of it
  • Then I clicked through to the web site
  • Curious what people pay for tickets there, I found that page

The only opera I've been to so far was in Vienna. They have a tourist option where you can stand in the back, under the seats good people sit in, for like 5 euros. My friend and I did that with the other filthy travellers until we couldn't stand any longer, about 30 minutes.

Your points are totally spot on, but I thought some context might be important here.

Heh, thanks for the context and no worries my response was probably way too detailed for a community around ugly software, which this page certainly was. I should probably just have up voted and moved on! There are lots of cheap tickets to operas, matinees and previews (before show officially opens, like a dress rehearsal++) are a great way to see incredible things on a peasant's budget in almost any city.

I'm not a software engineer, just a lowly user, but I habitually dig into the "whys" when things are broken and it always comes back to resource allocation and it's hard to get away from.
