If your users are aware and complaining about your tech stack, you failed as a Dev. The stack had nothing to do with it, its on you.

Edit: unless your customers are other devs, of course.

Banks.

Do you know why banks are still running COBOL on new, old architecture, IBM mainframes? Sure, it’s in part due to risk aversion, ignorance and inertia. But it’s also because, if in the end the result is the same, then the tech stack doesn’t matter.

Very few people are tech fanatics, most people want results. They care when the products don’t work. They don’t care how you fix it as long as you fix it in a reasonable manner, within an acceptable timeframe at an affordable price.

Doesn’t matter if the customer is a billion dollars bank or a social network. Debbie thinks javascript is when the barista puts her initials on her latte and rust is something to fear when it shows up under her car. Too many devs forget this.

What is a Trillium?

Again, doesn’t sound similar to me. There are plenty of exclusives both on the streaming and the videogames world. But the history on steam doesn’t follow Netflix’s history at all.

I think the problem is equating a public trade, stockholders driven service that is entirely in the gutter of service quality and shitty corporate behavior. With a private company that has a mostly solid ethic track record (with few exceptions) that offers unrivaled added value. Netflix already lost the streaming wars. Max exclusives will never go to Netflix, Disney would rather feed children to the pigs than share their IPs. While devs already negotiate time windows to end the exclusivity deals with Epic right out of the gate. Publishers will foam at the mouth about exclusivity just to release steam versions two years later. It’s a massively different situation to Netflix.

Again, not comparable. Prime video, Disney+ and Max are all similar in subscribers size to Netflix. Steam is ten times larger than GOG in number of active users and twice as large as Epic.

Netflix is utter crap. Way over the other side of the enshittification fence. They only subsist due to user capture. They were first thus everyone seems to have an account. More akin to Facebook to social networks than steam to online videogame stores.

Only if you have the power to do so.

Ableist, racist white supremacist doing their ableist-racist-white-supremacist thing.

Only for OneDrive. SharePoint documents lock excel tables and only one person can edit at a time. Though multiple instances can see and update the changes as the locked version is updated. Something about credentials.

How, exactly, should you have seen this coming? Elaborate on your thoughts.

You think calling someone autistic is an insult?

No I can’t guarantee it, and neither does Microsoft, Windows, nor any of the software you have ever used, for work or not. Read the TOS. You are given nothing, and all software, no matter how much you pay is “provided as is”. Which means they deny responsibility for bugs or misbehavior of their code. MS corporate contracts don’t sell guarantees, they sell support when something eventually goes wrong. They never promise the software will always 100% work because it opens them to legal liability. OneDrive, to keep the discussion on topic, doesn’t guarantee availability of your files, or their integrity, and even makes you agree to not sue them even if you lose all your data.

Because online harassment exists.

Installing a new OS is not a hassle at all on this day and age. If you can click buttons with a mouse and read at least at a 6th grade level to follow instructions, you can install an OS.

Next step is ready then. Dismantle the chain of command, appoint exclusively Trump loyalists, order the military to suppress dissent by force. They really are speed running Road to Dictatorship 101.

Sad to see. I took the free online version of the course a few years ago. It was really well organized. Although it faltered near the last classes (excessive focus on web site application) it was undoubtedly the best introductory course available for free on the web and perhaps even better than most paid ones. I do wish we could find out who was the secret donor, not to berate them, just to say thanks.

But you see, being an asshole and dehumanizing+hurting people with immunity is the whole point.

You could call it the “save the planet from an inminent asteroid hit” and idiots will still find a way to justify it’s dismantling. Don’t look up was a multidimensional satire.

If you’re encrypting and scrambling your own personal data and not properly saving the keys, that L is on you dog.

Always remember that in some places executive just means the dumbest person in the room and most developers won’t lift a finger if it means they get to see the owners embarrassing themselves in public.
