“A lot” is a great, quantifiable metric there, computer man! 👍👍👍📈💯🍾

- Comment on Selfhosted Jira alternative 1 week ago:
This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
Of course, most managers’ goal is not to become more evil and more terrible. Their goal is to attain more money and power. Becoming more evil and more terrible is the simply the means toward those ends.
- Comment on Selfhosted Jira alternative 1 week ago:
The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software’s opinions don’t matter in the least.

Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is). But even if they were, why the fuck would you advertise it as if it’s a great thing they’re using your software?

- Comment on At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble 1 week ago:
I don’t care if AI is useful, it’s not this useful. And it sure as shit isn’t going to see the returns they expect.
And how. Making coders slightly more efficient really just isn’t worth this much. There’s also going to be hell to pay when software created by all of the vibe-coding is found to be full of security holes.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 week ago:
I wasn’t saying that’s all it is. I was and am saying that that’s why and how a large portion of people use it.
There is a lot of usefulness in simple data structures with a GUI over top. People–especially in software product management–constantly think the complicated features are what keep people using software, even when it’s obviously untrue.

It’s not 100% of it, but it’s a large portion.
Excel isn’t replaced because your company already bought it. There are many alternatives to Excel and most of them are acceptable to the overwhelming majority of people who use Excel (people using it for tables and basic graphs) and none of them have displaced Excel.
I mean look at Word. It absolutely sucks and yet it’s standard anyway. Same with Outlook.

It’s just a generic table thing mostly. Turns out tables are a good way to lay out a bunch of different information.
Somehow nobody has made a similar generic application to allow you to work with nested list, outline, or tree style structures, which I think are equally if not more useful structures to lay out certain types of information.

I have to say it’s probably the only way you’ll ever get any kind of bulk rename out of a Microsoft OS.
- Comment on Leaked Windows 11 Feature Shows Copilot Moving Into File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.

I tested mine using my keyfob (which is what I bought it for). Test, for sure, but there are ones that work. Aluminum foil also works.

Could preface it with “are you still in the return period for this thing?”.
- Comment on 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells 3 weeks ago:
In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge
That’s more like two years for Samsung fridges, where the designers and builders spend all of their time on fancy horseshit and ignore basic requirements like “keep the food cold”.

It wasn’t “understood”. They all wanted to stand on the dais. They all unbanned him from the platforms. They all threw their weight behind him as a candidate.
They are supporters of his. The whole “boo hoo, I only run a trillion dollar company so I cannot stand up to Trump” is a horse shit ass, bitch ass excuse. These people have more access to wealth, legal help, and other resources than any other people in history. They chose this.

Framework for one, but just about any other computer maker is better by that metric.
