I was assigned a Trello task the other day to go ahead and put up a warning to IE users (until August).

It was one of the most satisfying tasks I've ever received.

I can't wait to go through the app with a machete and whack away all the sloppy IE compatibility code.

Could've been an employee painted a dull red.

We relaunched a 12 year old SaaS app last month and dropped IE support. It was the most wonderful feeling to remove support for that dumpster fire out of the repos.
