Had to post the full exchange. Dude is funny, I'm still laughing.

ME: I had done a tip calculator using javascript, but yours is much better.

The only thing I see wrong is that perhaps you should change out one of the clearing buttons for a “.” Button.

It seems to only do whole numbers. If you know basic math, you can figure it out – but for presentation sake, $17.65 should be displayed as 17.65 instead of 1765.

Great work!

HIM: Jesus, why are so many of you people such cheapskates that you want your tip to be accurate to the *penny*??

ME: Perhaps it's your time of the month or something, because you seem to be hypersensitive to a legitimate critique of the again, GREAT work you did.

I am not asking you to round the tip to the nearest dollar (your reference to the cheapskates) - I'm talking about the DISPLAY, not rounding.

Price in your app is the bill total. It doesn't allow me to put the bill as what it is $43.65, it only allows 4365. My bill isn't four thousand three-hundred and sixty-five dollars though. Likewise, if the tip is supposed to be $6.55 it should display as 6.55 instead of 655.

Jesus, if you can't handle valid suggestions for your app, maybe you should stop developing!

The only thing worse than being someone else's ******, is being your own ******!

HIM: > $43.65, it only allows 4365.

And it never occurred to you to just enter 44.

ME: How about this, don't call your app Tip Calculator, change it to Tip Estimator

HIM: Tell you what, I'll get right on writing that Scrooge McAsperger's mode! You've totally convinced me.


** ADVICE ** if you're a male developer going through M-PMS, don't release your app until your male PMS spell is over.
