From Annoying to Obscene
Topic: code|
My bank, Bank of America, shows a credit card ad as their landing page when logging off from their site. I’ve always found it extremely annoying. For one, I hate these big stupid ads. Secondly, I *already* own their credit card. Surely, they should know this?
Well, today, when I signed off, instead of the annoying ad page, I get an obscene error. Some “Server Error in ‘/NonCard’ Application….please create a customerrors tag within a “web.config” configuration….”. Looks like they use still use JSPs. I can sympathize with that. But thats no excuse for such an obscene error.

Atleast you do see the error in your Credit Card account Page , but what adjective you can use if your credit card request is rejected for the first time for not able to verify the address , second time for not holding savings account for more than 6 months and third time for not having a revolving(I like the phrase) account.

Hey, there is a whole population of people (aka non-programmers) who would have no idea why this is obscene! I have left that life so far behind that I would probably just click on to the next page. Haha. Blissful ignorance I guess.

This is not a JSP error, this is an ASP.Net error, some Microsoft shit. They use it over here. When the application (or website, call it however you want, .NET makes all this confused) crashes, it displays this nice screen. At least, they run the website in Release, not in Debug.
