      Part of my job is to review new technology people want to implement at the company I work for. The amount of times I’ve been sent a proposal so full of this shit that I can’t even tell what the thing I’m reviewing actually is/does is crazy. Sometimes even going to the website for the product doesn’t help. It’s infuriating. I feel like a lot of stuff just exists for business execs to buy so they have a new project to be in charge of for a while until the next thing comes along. It actually working is a lesser concern.

        😄 Such a familiar feeling, especially when it comes to software. You go to the official site and read until you fall asleep. Usually, I’ll just skip that and go straight to the relevant Wikipedia site, read the first three lines, and get the general idea of what that thing is all about. Works well with established technologies I haven’t heard of before. Doesn’t work with things that were invented two months ago.

    The phrase “create value” drives me up a wall.

    Sometimes we don’t need more “value”, we just need something that gets the job done. See: forced appreciation and housing prices.
