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?

Boss, I've just obliterated the number of instructions and allocations in our CSS selector parser!
Great, what's the speedup gain?
It runs in a thousandth of the time for simple selectors!
I mean when loading our test pages.
Well, time spent parsing CSS is already dwarfed by network and graphical operations, and I haven't done most of the spec yet, so not that much. Like a fraction of a percent.
How long did this take?
About four weeks.
Will the interns be able to read it?
Sure, the ASM fits on two screens!
You're fired.
