Award for most complex light switch
“Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.” In general, that’s a pretty good rule of thumb. That’s a lot of why software often gets bloated with unnecessary features. Here’s an example of when applied to a light switch: complex lightswitch. I wonder if the engineer is still proud of that, or if he/she now realizes it may be just a little too complex for a light switch.

I invented this light switch. It has all the great features any real humanoid would want. Not someone like you who is close minded to great features such as text messaging.

In defense of Ryan, and many others that would rather abide by the KISS principle, this switch is a nightmare. It is far too complicated, and would require a lot of messing with if the instructions weren’t there. That means it’s completely non-intuitive – something that normal light switches ARE.

I forgot to mention I was a Dr. so I’m more correct.

Thanks for the correction, Dr. light switch.

Nice, you’re a gay troll.

I’m never posting about light switches again.
