I'm convinced that UI developers are my mortal enemies.
Today's experience: Microsoft Outlook, which I have to assume is popular for some reason.
I go to delete a calendar item that I created for testing. Upon hitting [Delete] on my keyboard, I'm presented with the following dialog.
Which button will continue with the deletion of the item?
[➡️ Send][🗑️ Discard]If you selected the 🗑️ button to delete the entry, you're a fool like me. Obviously the [➡️ Send] button is the one you click to delete the thing. [🗑️ Discard] obviously means [❌ Cancel] (do nothing).
Today Excel bugged me again to rate it, and when I tried it told me I was ineligible to submit a review.
Once again I am asking for all technology to be cast into the sea immediately or sooner.
