Mouse without borders is pretty rad
Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.
Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It's not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.
Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy). /also a developer
The job market is pretty shit for a world that supposedly needs developers everywhere.
We need them badly, just not enough to pay not shit wages
Not in Europe - for now. Will be different of course if fascist America murders us all over here. Or Putler. Doesn't make much of a difference in the end...
Written by someone who has no idea how software gets made.
Teams or the meme?
Lol. Yes.
Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.
Teams has even an internal micromanager that reports to your boss how "productive" you have been (read, how fast you are typing in Office apps).
Do you have a source on this?
His arse, probably.
Almost certainly. If people saw how little I actually do on most days I wouldn't have a job. I just call myself then switch my status back to available so my dot stays green all day.
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions
Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.
What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.
We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.
The only real issue I have with zoom is how it immediately dumps you into the call with your previous settings. Sometimes (most times) I'd rather start with the microphone muted. I'm not a regular user though, just when third party meetings get kicked off.
Why does it have to be so heavy
What else could he say to not be thrown out? Dude works at Microsoft
"I worked on Space Cadet."
Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?
Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.
“I killed Clippy”?
When teams first came out it was good. And Skype was crap.
I think when they killed Skype they pulled that team in to help Teams which led to the current situation.
Bloated piece of shit. Can we just use Matrix?
lead developer for Skype would get any estonian to accept
