http://reborn-babies-for-sale.blogspot.com/ - imajilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, if it was only this easy! Admittedly cute, but a tad simplistic.
Web design can, and often does, go according to the same laws that govern thermodynamics . . . one-way energy flows, irreversible processes, and a general move towards entropic states.
Working on a giant site for a major company for a couple years now, some relationships have become obvious. For instance, the number of ways the nice, collaborative scenario to get FUBAR'd increases exponentially by the number of people involved. Similarly, placing the principal players as far apart as possible without leaving the planet also factors negatively into the equation.
There is no mention of the UX people (user-experience), often one for each business unit. Or the endless chain of BA's (business analysts), again, one for each department. Or the senior manager who freaks out with each bad word-wrap, and demands a total QA cycle in the middle of a product launch. Or the competing needs of various departments who each insist they have the most critical content needs in the company. "We want to deflect calls to the web!"- "We can't have them going to the web, they'll need to call!
Meanwhile, the coders are in permanent re-work mode so they can't code the new AJAX/Ruby/Typo/PHP/ site that will create the "seamlessly integrated user experience" that requires backend hooks to a dozen databases around the globe that for some reason can never get synched-up.
Web design, in the big pond, is often very messy, dangerous (we actually had one person fall over dead . . . though in fairness, we couldn't say for sure it was due to bad Java), and totally devoid of anything resembling order.
The plastic figures were really close, though!

lmao! - Lewisham, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It is fitting that the customer looks evil.

- Junx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Eerily accurate. I like how the robot programmer looks completely frustrated the whole time with most likely idiotic clients and sometimes designers.
