Stupid Things About Programming #1

I'd like to keep the complaining in this blog to a minimum (ha), but seeing as I'm running into this issue pretty often, and I never post, it's worth mentioning.

I hate when users think that one can apply paradigms from one place to another. For example, expecting the availability of things like modal windows in web applications. In fact, expecting ANYTHING with a popup window in a web application.

Then again, google does an awesome job with web UIs. Maybe I should just play with some of their stuff to see how it's done.
