I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. We brought on a vendor to provide us some fancy OCR tool. It barely works. It's been barely working. And the vendor is so adamant it works it's so difficult to get them to send people onsight to work with us. We complained about it to the exec and we got "Oh they're a tech startup. You have to help them along with developing their process blah blah blah". Well they don't want help we offered they keep existing their shit is top secret (and it works). When they make changes remotely it's like they blindly make a change and then throw it to us to test. When we can get them to come in they hang around till the problem is fixed (more than once we've had to tell them how to fix it.) and they fly as fast as they fucking can through the door. A guy on my team even built something similar backed by Azure but we were given directive to work with them. And now we're getting pressure about delays in launch. But it's not our fault. The vendors asshole lying CEO keeps making shit up and we're told to work with it. Yet it's our fault that we missed deadlines? fuck this place !!! fuck all of this !!!

    Welcome to the 3rd wave economic model! Where you get to pay someone else to fuck you over in business!

    @tevyt of course, and trust me, it will only get worse. more intertwined, more unfinished, more lower quality DIY projects we are gonna see in the near future.

    if you dont believe me, look at the game industry and the games never leaving early access stage.

    @zeknoss I'm getting that part of it is we don't want to crush a local small business. We are a small economy and we don't have much tech business locally. But you cant have your cake and eat it too.

    @tevyt the problem is not with crushing a local or small business. the problem with the 3rd wave economics is the rush.

    the idea behind the model is to create a hybrid of 1st wave and 3rd wave human. in first wave we were both consumers and producers, like farmers. the problem was the small growth factor which rendered technological advancement very slow.

    the 2nd wave model came with the industrial revolution. big factories and bulk production brought some gifts buth it was destructive, repetitive and unsustainable.

    with 3rd wave, they're trying to create the hybrid where we are both producers and consumers, but problem is we have to integrate the the system very firmly and need to adapt insanely fast while consuming even faster then now.

    this brings unfinished products, rushed releases, wasted resources, re-inventions of things already invented, on and on...

    this is the new world and I don't like it a bit.

    @NoMad This is a good idea. Worth a shot going forward. Plus yh I really think we need to pressure them more
