ITT: Software red flags.
>backwards compatibility
i. e "we're so fucking terrified of our moronic reactionary boomer userbase that we waste massive amounts of developer time to maintain dozens of useless and/or counterproductive features, making our overall product much clunkier and harder to use"
>license: proprietary
>Author: Microsoft
when you check the upstream repository and it's last commit was 7 years ago.
>backwards compatibility
but that is what makes windows great
As Openbox and Xfce

Conversely, Jow Forums saying it's bad means you should take a serious look at it.
Name five (5) times this happened
it's another 'let's trigger Jow Forums' thread
sure is summer
As opposed to wasting time remaking all the shit that used to work?
Apple iWork
You are a moron if you think that way, for example win7 is much better than its little sisters
You are obviously a NEET. If you have ever worked on a project with more than five users, you would know how important backward compatibility is. No, the fingers on you left hand doesn't count.
Hell, if you ever used a library that completely broke your product, you'd know how important it is.
Is this the dude that complains about 'summerfags' every summer? die in a hole completely alone bro we all know you're one of them.
Softwarelet
The summerfags started invading two weeks ago and I'm not the only one who has noticed. Now go back.
You are easily the lamest thing to ever happen to Jow Forums lol. 10 fucking years and the last 2 you fuckers show up.

Hey customer, please spend millions on our new product!
What? Use your old data? Nah, only new data from here on in.
>female developer
>female(male) developer
stay far away from projects with these attributes
>instead of building upon the current software, let's just throw all of that shit out like hot garbage and make a completely new thing with each product iteration and force everybody to automatically adapt to our arbitrary decisions because... money?
Not everybody can be Nintendo.
Why won't millions of businesses upgrade to our new version? Fuck their old documents and data stores.

PsychoPy does this shit

It depends. Some businesses have machines that have custom software and cost ridiculous amounts of money to stop running. So they never so.
Others just dont understand tech. And some bosses dont allow people to lose a second of work.

I had to check the calendar to confirm it was 2018. This is proprietary software costing several thousand dollars to license.
Windows can still run 16 bit programs. Fucking 16 bit.
How hard was it to put quotes around the path location

No it can't.
This boomer meme is getting stale.
>66235004

I have no idea how it works but I'm gonna make it better.
>no backwards compatibility
We fucked it the first time, now we fix it, next time we'll start over again.
>fizbuzz 18.014.16
Weekly updates of your basic utility because it was released with bugs the first time and normies consider a software "dead" if numbers aren't continusly growing (software development is actually complete and bug free)
>FOSS in first line of description
We are "philosophers/activists/sjws who code", basically one level higher than "coder girls"

don't bring the knight sabers into this

Yes. Yes it is. We all have calendars.

Only 32 bit windows can do 16 bit emulation. 64 bit cannot.
biggest red flag
>no backwards compatibility + no downloads for older versions
that means your shitty app does not care about its userbase.
