Making CEOs use their product live is a great idea. It'll never happen because it's a great idea.
Make Elon Musk sit atop one of his shitty rockets the next time it launches.
I prefer he sits at the bottom better.
SpaceX rockets are all but shitty, but you can claim it's despite Musk's involvement. Since it's been known he fires all the capable engineers who disagree with him.
I heard there was a person hired specifically to keep Elon away from the critical areas so he doesn't try to overrule a decision and destroy the company.
Life pro tip that will make your IT deparment hate you: you can use Evolution and change the client id to match outlook's one in the advanced settings. It'll look like you are using the standard outlook client from your IT department point of view, but you'll actually get a usable interface instead. I assume that thunderbird has the same options to override the client id, but I haven't checked.
Don't blame me if you get in troubles though.
Do it while being asked by a middle manager if you saw the email last week. Fucking story of my life.
This might be better than the Guillotine
Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.
@mod_pp these "make the CEO use the product" bloodsports are the cultural vector we need right now. ENACT LAWS enforcing C-suite use of their products.
let them eat shit.
Make the servicenow ceo search for something in their product. Anything. Not even in a case. Just use the product.
Service-Now CEO would be the middle piece in my human centipede
Not only that but make him eat a McDonald's hamburger
Me: what rule moved that email to a random folder? Outlook: who the fuck knows?
Outlook search has gotten way worse in the past year + 🤬
wouldn't they just ask Copilot?
and trust whatever it says
Honestly copilot search of emails is definitely a step up to the outlook search... Which doesn't say much...
I don’t know. Between him and the CEO of Atlassian, I think the last will have more trouble. But… why not both?
Bro why is Atlassian actually so shit? Two of their open facing tickets I came across last night. One for them to fix table rendering in the description field of tickets and the other to enable the option for collapsable fields in Confluence to be expanded by default.
Both were the better portion of a decade old and both with 1-2 year old updates saying “sorry we’ve taken so long to provide an update on this request”. The confluence one was closed without word and move to another ticket, reducing the votes/views and therefore dev priority. Such basic functionality left unaddressed for a decade. Bizzare-o world with some of these tech companies I swear.
collapsible fields doesn't improve shareholder value
Yeah and it doesn’t help when the new (as of ~2 years ago) dev ops lead is an “AI first” type. I get all that but like 4 years in, tell us to get fucked “your fields are remaining forever collapsed”. 8 god damn years the initial confluence ticket was open.
I came across it while setting up a wiki page last night, there were people who had been monitoring it for years. Some real “abandon hope all ye who enter” type shit.
Every time they add the feature, half of the product breaks. The other half start using twice as much memory and compute, somehow.
They've got a pile of technical debt disguised as a product and the development velocity of the snail as a consequence. Very typical. The real question is "why hasn't the competition eaten their lunch already".
Sorry, best we can do is rename tasks to work items.
I was about to say that as bad as Outlook was, I actually used its search to figure out some Jira ticket because just... damn trying to find a Jira ticket based on a few keywords is just a pain in the ass...
