Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

Code composition and generic programming (in C++ and Java) have benefited me over the years. In the industries that I've worked in (I've been working for 18 years now), I've noted various patterns in data structures and algorithms for the class of business operations that I've experienced. One of the reasons that I'm effective at delivering my work is because I reuse and repurpose the same old generic modules I've already written in the past (for the code that's copyrighted to me). I don't know why you consider abstraction as obfuscation because I always deliver a comprehensive set of software system models that model the different parts of the system. Everybody with half a brain can look at my models and comprehend how my system works.
