So today, after about 2 weeks of downtime, the new Quest system at Waterloo came online. They even spammed us all to tell us, so I took a look.
It is, without question, the worst web software I have ever used, and possibly the worst supposedly "release-quality" software I've ever seen. To demonstrate the suck, I present you with a screenshot:
Why the block is there a freakin' queue for transcript requests? There never used to be. And, what's worse is that I have to manually sit there and click refresh. Any monkey with half a brain could write some JavaScript to refresh the page, say every 30 seconds. Or use <meta http-equiv=refresh> or something, and any RDBMS written in the last 30 years shouldn't need to queue requests for as long as thing does. Jeebus.
Worst. Software. Ever. I mean I thought Waterloo was pioneering new levels of suck with JobMine, but they've really outdone themselves this time.
