I use a system at work that is 100% web based. I have 2 4k monitors in my desk. Why are the apps formatted for viewing on a phone? I've gotten to the point of hacking the CSS on every page just to make things usable.
At the last version upgrade, the developers made some changes to the interface. They couldn't be bothered to change the existing CSS, so they just put !important on all the new stuff.
Mobile first rule.
And then lazy port to desktop.
"it's mobile first!"
"And desktop second, right?"
"What's desktop?"
“What's a desktop?”
At the start of Covid, we had to start working from home. Our Chief Security Idiot thought that was a good time to impose measures that made it impossible to reboot a computer without physical access. When I questioned how that would work with my desktop, which stayed in the office building that I couldn’t legally access, he kept saying I had to take the “laptop” with me. I told him several times that it was a desktop, but he just couldn’t understand until my boss got involved.
That was my first run-in with our idiot-in-charge-of-security, and it only got worse after that.
Please tell us more stories, that sounds entertaining :D
It's kind of screwed to say. But a lot of people entering the work force grew up with phones and tablets as their main computer. It's the mind set they have that everything uses touch interfaces.
I'm not saying everyone or even most, but for a good portion it's their default computer experience.
The first generation was just that bad ignoring that some people wanted to browse the web through their mobile.
80% population have access to mobile phones.
Multiple windows. Most people dislike 2 meter wide text blocks.
Most people people dislike 10x10 cm text windows when programming/editing HTML/reading SQL dumps.
Code and logs don't count, that's not normal reading. That's cheating.

May I ask how old you are? And what was the first OS you used?
