tibberous Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I made a site that took orders, and stored all the prices as integers Guy was like: "If I stick in $5.30 it becomes 5. Could we possibly add a way to keep track of the remaining pennies." Also, I had the error handling on an upload daemon fail, and a site thought I was doing a DOS attack against them. Whats really weird is that even after that they didn't ban my IP or mention the fact I was automating my uploads.

.josh Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Guy was like: "If I stick in $5.30 it becomes 5. Could we possibly add a way to keep track of the remaining pennies." Your response should have been: "Hey yeah, I can add that feature if you want, but it wasn't in the contract, so I'll have to charge you for it!"

waynew Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Spent a week trying to piece together a financial draft from an unnormalised database (designed by somebody else) and found out in the end, after hours upon hours of hardship, that calculating the values was impossible.

The Little Guy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I cant think of an example of the top of my head, but what about when you stay up for hours and hours trying to get some logic to work properly. You go to bed you get up, and the next time you try, you realize you had 2 lines out of order/reversed.
