This is a continuation of the earlier posts to enumerate funny aspects of software engineering practice:

380) Build a product with thought through dashboard and find the users gravitating to the page
381) Build a product with little or no styling and find the applications not gaining appeal
382) Build a product with specific investment towards stylesheets and see dramatic improvement in perception
383) Build a product with customizable styles and the partners become happy
384) Build a product with styles that can be changed and the s satisfaction grows among end-users.
385) Build a product with styles that suit groups and membership to the group grows
386) Build a product with logo that can be made into stickers to be offered as give away and theit becomes popular among the young professionals
387) Build a product with marketing events that become popular and the awareness increases
388) Build a product with partnerships where partners talk about the product and the fan following grows
389) Build a product with advocacy groups and training and the skilled users grow
390) Build a product where people can learn about and hear others empowered in their work and the fan following grows.
391) Build a product where they have to wait for orphaned resourcesn cleanup before they can proceed with re-install.
392) Build a product where the users have to frequently run the installer and it doesn’t complete some of the times
393) Build a product where the software is blamed because the administrator was shy to read the manual
394) Build a product where the resources for the software provided by the customer does not meet the requirements.
395) Build a product where different parts of the software need to be installed differently and find that deployments are usually haphazard
396) Build a product where the installation on production environment is so elaborate that it requires planning, dry runs and coordination across teams
397) Build a product where every update is used to justify setting aside a day by the staff
398) Build a product where the reality and perception are deliberately kept different at a customer site
399) Build a product where the vision for the product is different from what the customer wants to use it for.
400) Build  product where the quirkiness of the product offers fodder for all kind of talks from conferences to board room meetings.

This is a continuation of the earlier posts to enumerate funny aspects of software engineering practice:
370) Build a product that gets a thumbs up from production support.
371) Build a product that makes it easy to add storage and find prolific use of storage by users.
372) Build a product that makes it easy for users to complete workflows with fewer checks and find that users tend to experiment rather than let the workflow guide them
373) Build a product that makes workflows too convoluted and users tend to use it only for partial completion
374) Build a product where users can create their own workflows and it becomes popular with audience that like user friendly designer software like tools
375) Build a product with little or no composition to workflows and users tend to write several clones of customized workflows
376) Build a product with the ability to support live debugging and it become popular for development environments
377) Build a product with lots of levers and the dashboard looks intimidating
378) Build a product with fewer levers and find the customers unhappy
379) Build a product where you let the users create their own panels for levers and they hardly do it

360) Build a product for different flavors of operating systems or cloud computing and find the developers struggle to keep their skills up to date on each flavor.
361) Build a product and realize it has to be modified for each and every platform on which it is run.
362) Build a product and which grows significantly and then retrofit adapters to different technologies.
363) Build a product and find a number of clients requiring customizations that ends up forming an infrastructure layer facing the clients
364) Build a product that proliferates layers and components as business expands only to have them shrink and adjust afterwards.
365) Build a product that makes it a challenge to reverse engineer
366) Build a product that reduces the surface area for foreign software to operate within its trust boundary
367) Build a product that lets it easy for applications to work inside the most stringent requirements customer sites
368) Build a product where the product cannot be remote accessed for troubleshooting due to customer -imposed restrictions
369) Build a product that makes it easy to diagnose issues or make remedies by flipping on or off configurations
