Agreed. Half of people want simple, maintainable solutions. The other half want complex solutions that people can glam onto, like how politics works.

>> Or perhaps more correctly, value is value. So, Microsoft's own Dynamics offers no greater value than their competitor SAP, even within ... Microsoft.

You can find a McDonald's next to a high rise, the contrast is pretty wild.

No, it isn't, visit https://www.dice.com and enter kotlin into the search field. There are a few hundred total listed.

2 key words, Wireguard and a cheap VPS.

With 8 billion people on the planet and many people with Internet access these days I'm surprised there aren't like a billion people on Steam.

That reminds me I'm an idiot for defending Google in this.

No one really uses spreadsheets any more except as nicer CSV outputs.

I remember 1998 Microsoft like yesterday. Google past or present is no 1998 Microsoft in terms of badness.

In 2002, Code Red mostly brought down the Internet. It was big news then. I can't imagine Microsoft could survive that happening today. Either way, making it sound like something t…

I agree and nothing about waterfall denied making prototypes, ever. We all know modern agile is nothing more than mini-waterfalls anyway.

I never liked UML but I agree time-sequence diagrams can be very helpful.

There is something to say for design and long term (old fashioned) waterfall. Imagine starting building a rocket today to deliver a satellite to a specific location in space tomorr…

I've driven and flown across the United States multiple times. There are far more people in my camp than yours, about 75% of the nation.

Edge cases? That's why they are called disasters. That's why there's disaster planning. Ever read https://www.ready.gov/ ?

Social politics. Can't say a thing today that would have been seen as funny in a diverse team 20 years ago. We're like robots in Teams chat.
