#22The janky enterprise “security” software that runs at 100% cpu constantly and is the number 1 reason the laptop fan spins up. AKA spyware. I’ve got the keys to production databases but for some reason can’t be trusted to update my computer or not download viruses. “Use” is very loose definition, “forced to run” is more accurate.
I remember one of these processes making a brand new 2018 Macbook-Pro unusable.
It got so bad that I had to record the screen, showing my manager the absurd CPU usage, and input lag using VS-Code (type a letter see it appear 3 seconds later).
After a week of that, I basically had to send an email saying "either the security stuff you installed works, or I can work, but both will not work at the same time"

#24Outlook. It is clunky, and the rules seem to be hit and miss.

So much this.... Crappy so called security software that only makes things more secure by slowing down the computer.
I get it we need to protect the network, but you don't do that by making sure that everybody is out looking for a way to do an end run around your virus scan and audit software.
I would love to know how much power is used just to run so called security software.

#26Windows 10. Everything is just 10x slower than on Linux

#27Service Now
Teams - slow, memory hungry
Defendpoint for local admin - when you end up having to put your password in 20 times to install something from Microsoft, for example
Jira - maybe it's just the way ours is configured but TFS/AZdevops seemed so much better
Microsoft Dynamics...

#29Slack. I realize that I'm quite lucky in this regard. Slack isn't great, but it's far from the Enterprise (TM) dumpster fire that other examples here are.
