Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!
This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Finger should work.
Waltuh
I also love when systems tell me my name is “invalid” because it has a character they don’t like.
Reminds me of this: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names
Alright alright but surely people’s names are diverse enough such that no million people share the same name.
Who thinks that?
There's about 5,000 people working at the organization I work at and there's loads of people who have the same name, first and last.
That's why you should store names as images
Hello, I am 😘 😚 🫡. Nice to meet you
🎶 Thaaaaaat’s myyyy name toooo 🎶
Impossible, no two people on earth have the same image name!
Most of the time I don't remember what I commented so me receiving this notification made me think you're one of those spam bots
How do you pronounce it? Kissy kissy salute?
Please, just kall me Kiss.
Lmao
One of my financial accounts wouldn't let me transfer money to another because my name wasn't exactly the same on that account.
Name input should exclusively be an infinitely sized canvas, got it.
Falsehoods programmers believe about names:
-
- Names are representable using an n-dimensional infinite canvas. Nobody has a name requiring an (n+1)-dimensional representation.
Strongly resisting the urge to rename myself to the concept of ℂⁿ⁺¹.
How do you spell it? You can't. Muahahaha
My health insurance company did this with my first name. Now when I communicate with them in any way, even a doctor telemedicine visit,I have to pretend my name is Christophe.
Could've gone with Hristopher, I guess?
Krtsfr is as concise as can be
Christofer
E: scrolled down to realize I'm like the third person to say this. So original 🙄🤷
It's a nickname for Hristorectomy.
I’d love to join a zoom call with a doctor and watching them try to pronounce that.

You write Chris, and then they lock your account because they think you're fraudulent
Try to rephrase it
Christophe sounds cooler, anyway.
Cristopher
Christophr
Christofer
So many options, so few letters
Chrstphr as well
Malprctce, I was named after my uncle, he's in insurance.
This immediately made me think of Frozen. That's what having kids does to your brain.
Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.
As a fellow Christophe, I too have seen this all my life.
It's comical that so many companies and systems just decided "No one will ever have a name longer than 10 characters, right?"
South Korea actually has a law that nobody can have names longer than 5 symbols since a traditional name is never longer than that and it's all their systems are setup to handle.
It’s wild considering it was one of the most popular names for a while. There were 3 other Christophe’s in my class at one point.
