Here’s a hint. If you’re a company and are about to introduce a “feature” that will make people burn you in effigy… don’t.
Don’t. Be. That. Guy.
Don’t tell your customers New Coke tastes better. Don’t advertise the shit out of your exciting launch of the Edsel. If you’re working for Google and feel like being evil… don’t. Just don’t do it.
Don’t inflict your better and superior and wildly unpopular ideas on the people who are your customers. They don’t give a crap about your special new take on what’s basically a way to type strings of text. Get over yourself. If they want what you think is a shit sandwich… then get out the bread and make a fuckin’ shit sandwich.
Capiche? Got it it? Ya’ feel me? Did ya’ grok that? We square? Good!
I’m done ranting. I’ve installed the WordPress “classic editor” and it’s good enough for now. It was easier than dumping WordPress lock, stock, and barrel (which I’m eager to do if they get used to this kind of behavior). I recommend “classic” (a.k.a. “geezer mode”) to anyone who cares about such things. (Ironically, WordPress’ editor was always a bit lame. I was actually looking forward to the upgrade. It’s just that Gutenberg is really pathetic. Flat out craptacular. I didn’t relish my blogging becoming another battle against the post-literate society that lurks in my nightmares. Fuckin’ “blocks”?!? They can bite me!)
Happy typing y’all.
