Why is the navigation bar, and other UI elements in, I wanna say Mandarin?

*clicks sign in button in Outlook*

"Hang on a moment while we sign you out....
...You signed out of your account"

me: this is literally the exact opposite of what I wanted you to do!

of course you can now make a vtuber avatar in microsoft teams but markdown support in chat is still is a clunky mess. #priorities

MS Teams markdown shortcuts are now broken for me and my whole org. Literally never happened with discord or slack. How is a company this big so bad at making good software?

It's crazy to me how much of a misguided superiority complex some CS college kids have.

"I'd never learn Python, that's just for kids"

"Front end is so easy, it's just HTML and making things look pretty"

It's honestly impressive how bad some Microsoft products are.

Seems like every time I've used a slow, hulking, badly designed web site it's a Microsoft ASP.NET website

The biggest lie devs tell themselves: this will be a living document.

It's been 2 weeks please merge my PR

Is it really good OpSec to log me out of outlook every hour when the password manager lets me automatically log back in?

How to make boat loads of money: wirte some janky corporate SaaS platform with the worst UI possible.

Companies that make things devs have to work with: please stop trying to implement your own version of markdown. I don't want to memorize 3 different ways of making links

Everyone in the gaming internet talking about how Microsoft's Activision Blizzard purchase will usher in a new age of improvements have never had to use teams.

Microsoft teams is garbage. That is all.

"my app was already hacked so now it has natural immunity"

it finally arrived

Log4j is just more justification to never use Java for anything

"What do you do for a living?"

I go to meetings, write Jira tickets, and occasionally I code

One of the interns:
"I'm thinking about switching from CS, I don't think I wanna write code all day"

Me:
Don't worry, you'll spend most of the day in meetings anyway

Can any IT/InfoSec people tell me why in the heck do I need to put in a ticket to download the Java runtime environment?

Like seriously, how is blocking this beneficial? I'm genuinely curious.

If I never have to use Teams again it would be too soon

Why is it that CS students with no industry experience lament about HTML all the time?

I don't get the weird obsession with talking about how it's "not a programming language"
No one who knows what they're talking about is claiming it is.

Hyper Text *Markup* Language.

Markup is in the name.

Is it just me or does it seem like every asp.net web app have the worst UX ever

Micro$oft: why every Teams mobile update do you TURN THIS OFF???

Making me go back and turn it back on.

Discord, Slack, and literally everyone else figured this out ages ago.

I did it y'all, I just put in two weeks. Goodbye tech debt, goodbye anti-patterns, goodbye constant firefighting.

our automated email system is written in 3 y/o razor (cshtml) pages that have no inheritance.

there's 50 files that are all copy/paste with slight variation in the strings.

I have to set up localization for all of it.

might just quit.

untangling some spaghetti deep in a tech-debt-ridden repo:

find the bug causing function

only comment:
`//TODO: replace this once <jira_ticket_url> is done`

I miss CS undergrad

Please tell me why my boss thinks instead of just implimenting a language picker, it's a good idea to:

1) store the browser's language option in the DB only for new users, but only the first time they log in, never again.

2) never give existing users the ability to change language, and just default them to English.

3) deal with all upcoming language change tickets by having devs manually do DB updates ON THE LIVE PROD DB.

I'm screaming.

STOP PUTTING 5 GB FILES IN THE DATABASE KYLE WE LITERALLY HAVE AZURE BLOB SOTRAGE ALL SET UP.
