Hah, I have seen this before but this was the first time I actually notice the PRODUCT SPEC at the beginning:

GOAL: Surprise and delight users by displaying their birthday on the setting page.

DELIVERABLES: Display User Birthday on Settings Page

"Surprise and delight" has definitely become one of my new bullshit bingo favorites.

I knew this would be in the comments before even opening the page. This thing has been getting shared a ton lately since it was just uploaded 2 weeks ago. I think it kind of goes to show how many people empathize with the video.

Great satire! haha

There should be one of these videos for reactive programming as well. Misuse of observable pattern can quite quickly turn an app into a mess, making code navigation / minor change requests a nightmare.

Great video, also in a couple of clicks I got to this, which is equally hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WL_jkFS2gw

Hilarious video (and most likely very true). Thank you for sharing.

This made my day, thank you.
