That's ok. Nobody likes teens anyway
Except Epstein
Hate to break it to you, but he liked one of the above even more
Holy shit, Epstein had adult woman fetish?
/J
"Guys, what is this fetish called? 'Adult woman x Adult man'
A secret the Animes won't tell you about
My favourite Doctor Who scene of all time (with the Romans).
Disgusting
Holy shit, the sick fuck!
I read Einstein and was VERY confused
Ep's Teen
Nah, his category is there, the lower one
Epsteen
You're not wrong.
Have teen. Can confirm.
Teens banned from online shopping malls too.
To think this passed a review, QA testing and project owner, while also not corrected by senior, team lead and ordered by a project manager. It clearly shows how little they care about their own products haha
You’d be surprised at how inept QA can be and how fast seniors will rubber stamp things
I am the rubber stamping senior, but because I am not getting paid for doing that 🥲
For us this would go PM->UX->Engineering. And you bet your ass I'd be bringing this up to our UX person
I don't even know if we have a QA team tbh
Y'all are failing to realize that any step along the way could be bulldozed by the PM yelling loudly that they want it this way specifically
Hahahaha....been there.
Have gotten the UX Figma, implemented it with pixel perfection, reviewed, merged, Jira closed - then suddenly the PM "actually had something else in mind"
In my case it goes QA (Manual) -> QA (Automation) -> PM -> PO -> Release
Pretty long chain but it works quite well, in fact I get along with the QA team but because they are chill and actually understand development lol
and how fast seniors will rubber stamp things
It's called humility. If you think it's good enough I'm not gonna challenge you. Pride is a sin.
> cheap off-shore outsourcing
But besides that, Amazon in fact doesn't care about their consumer products. They're the definition of a "no service company". All they care about is that people still buy there. And people do, no matter what, because Amazon uses all it's might to force their price dumping, so it's always cheap to buy at Amazon. People buy even the biggest trash if it's cheap. See the rise of Temu or Shein. Here the circle closes, as we're back to why cheap off-shore outsourcing is a thing even the quality is guarantied always trash.
Indeed, same happens here in south america with MercadoLibre, where people buy cheap products with expensive shipping and taxes.
Bold of you to assume they do reviews or QA
This might seem silly, probably not well thought through but I think there is somewhat of a reason behind this.
I believe they are in the process of removing their previous Amazon Teen program. It was discontinued in April of this year.
I only know this because I was trying to add a teen to my family.
I think they are getting rid of this because you could originally effectively add other adults as a teen to share your Prime.
Their teen program still technically exists if a teen was enrolled before April. So they may have decided simply to hide the teen button until fully discontinuing this program has been removed but also, they have child specific settings that are designed around children that are under that age and wouldn't likely be great for teenagers. So they are probably going to revamp the teen program as a whole and then add the teen button back in or something.
automated QA, IA QA
Ah yes, AI (Indian Adquisition) QA 🤣
Vibe QA
It is funny, but the context here is that Amazon used to have a Teenagers program which would have displayed between these two options.
For unexplained reasons (probably money), Amazon decided to get rid of it so now you only get these two options.
Plot twist: this was coded by a Sim from The Sims 1.
Sims don't go through teenage phase?
Not in the first game. Sims are either adults or children in that game and they never age, so they remain in the same life stage forever until they die (the Makin’ Magic expansion did introduce a way to turn children into adults however). From a technical standpoint, babies aren’t considered to be “Sims” and are merely extensions of baby cribs, which are considered furniture. They can age into children after a few days of proper care.
Hey! Frabba doo nah!
Ig teens have no place in this world now /s
I dunno, every teenager thinks they are an adult nowadays.
It's like that since humanities dawn, I think.
Yup, the implementation reflects basic human behaviour. Might be a feature, not a bug
Up until recently, relatively anyway, teenagers were adults.
Well I've been seeing a lot of adults who act like teenagers, so who knows
Never did? /s
[deleted]
suicide doesnt make you an adult lol
Vibe screenshot
Maybe op doesn't have access to reddit due to corporate proxy.
So how did they post this here?
Or are you saying it's too difficult to sync a screenshot to your phone?
If it’s a work computer, I’m not risking a Data Loss Prevention alert to my manager just for a reddit post lol
Which translates as: "I don't care doing anything that is clearly against policy, as long as I won't get caught." This says a lot about a person…
Either it's not a problem doing such a screenshot—which obviously doesn't show anything confident, so it's harmless—or it's not allowed, and you're risking your ass no mater how concretely you're exposing the data.
Either they trust you not doing shady shit, or they don't. But to be honest, if I would find out about the above stated attitude I would instantly stop trusting that person. Most likely it would be a reason to actually instantly fire them.
Besides that: If the company really cared about data exfiltration you wouldn't be allowed to use the computer while you have any electronic device with you, and there would be some cellphone jammer in place.
And last but not least: There are really devs here around who work on computers which are infected with corporate spyware? My sincere condolences.
Geez you need to chill.
That’s a whole lot of words to say you can’t imagine that doing so would not be against company policy but still doesn’t negate the fact that the alert would go to my manager and I’d have to fill out an entire exception form.
From a work PC? Yeah, probably too much effort for a 2 minute reddit post
Looks like business requirements to me bro…
Business dictated and only dictated: "No teenagers allowed." And since children and toddlers are not teenagers... we got that. We could say it met the requirement.
We fixed... the problem.
Ah, yes, we had no stupid developers before AI came out.
Let's go with that...
If anything I bet AI would've proposed the correct categories.
In fact just asking ChatGPT:
✅ Suggested Age Ranges Group 1: Children
0–2 yrs (Infant)
3–5 yrs (Preschool)
6–12 yrs (Child)
13–17 yrs (Teen)
Group 2: Adults
18–24 yrs (Young Adult)
25–34 yrs
35–44 yrs
45–54 yrs
55–64 yrs
65+ yrs (Senior)
🧠 UX Considerations Group labels like “Children” and “Adults” should be visually distinct (faded label or separator).
Bubbles should be pill-shaped, toggleable.
Allow single or multi-select depending on your use case (e.g., if selecting for a family).
Tooltip on hover or info icon for terms like "Young Adult" or "Senior" if clarity is needed.
I see the issue, let me fix it, I will add a third category young adult between 14 and 16
Everyone knows the time between 12 and 18 is the time you send them off to complete the trials of adulthood. If they survive you welcome them back in the family at 18.
This is because Amazon just discontinued the teen program very recently.
Teens cost to much compared to 12 year old and 18 year old tend to be wiser. So it's a lose lose to hire teens
This has nothing to do with vibe coding. It's just bad design.
Maybe it's a pedophile dating site? No place for teens on there
18 or older = getter
12 or under = setter
Im pretty sure 16 year olds dont exist
I briefly worked at a company in the tourism branch and this is actually a typical issue. We were responsible for connecting various different hotels etc. to the large online sellers such as Booking.com or Airbnb.
We essentially acted as the translation layer between hotels and sellers, such that they both receive the data in the way they expect and they do not have to worry about all the different datastructures of their partners.
The issue is, the definition of a "child" or "adult" is very different across different countries and software packages. So if a website such as booking.com only registers someone as a child, and not their actual age, and one of the hotels uses a different age range for children, then there is no way to determine if the guest would be considered a child by the hotel or not.
The annoying thing is that people don't seem to be willing to understand this. Since we're responsible for the translation they think this would be our issue, while it is literally impossible to solve.
They forgot to leave out Gen X. It's a long tradition.
You don’t think that maybe they just meant to say “17 and under” for the child one? It could just be a one character typo.
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
This likely manual coders.
Amazon doesn't recognize 13-17 as family.
I’m glad to see the title has been fixed since last time
Nah this has nothing to do with AI, the mistake is quite understandable as the two groupings make sense in isolation but not combined. It really shouldn't have passed review in Amazon but if you've never made a mistake then I doubt you're really a programmer.
🦋 Human makes typo
💁🏻♂️ Is this a vibe coder?
I would buy it if 2 and 7 were even close on the keyboard.
Then there is the worse part, that it slipped past QA and what not
I wanna believe that what happened is there's a 3rd option, "Teen", but for some reason it's hidden, maybe because it's not somehow enabled on their account, maybe because of a bug.
Typos aren’t always “finger slipped”. “12 and under” is a very common definition of child; any person not paying attention could easily write this even while not intending to or even realising that they have. That’s why QA processes exist. Nothing about this implies an LLM was involved much less the “vibe coding” no-code process of iterative prompting
Well, this much is fair. But the issue is ultimately just no one paying enough attention to catch the issue, especially since it really shouldnt take more than a glance or two to realise that somrthing is off here.
Of course nothing is perfect in the end.
The fact that its the common definition is the proof it was ai lmao
With all the generosity in my heart: you’ve never had to work with other people in a job, I take it? Because people absolutely do make this sort of mistake all the time. Project workflows and management revolve around the understanding that people not only constantly make stupid mistakes like this, but are blind to seeing their own errors even when as obvious as this.
Right? A modern cutting edge LLM would never make a mistake so simple. We’ve gone full uncanny valley in this industry.
It could make that mistake, sure, but in my experience a human is more likely to make it.
LLMs are usually pretty good at surface level stuff like this (which is why nontechnical people trust them so much) but fuck up in ways that are harder to see at first glance — security holes, memory leaks, weird inefficiencies, things breaking because variables suddenly change names etc
Just asked ChatGPT and it caught it straight away.
Gave it the image and the prompt: "Hey, please approve this user interace for me."
Hoping it would make it try to please me and just rubber stamp it, but it called out the missing age group and poor contrast for the age text.
The age groups would never have been left up to the developer alone, at least not in any serious company.
