ServiceNow. Perfect storm of abysmal design/UX used to represent a bloated and confusing underlying information architecture. It's possible that I'm using an poorly configured version/instance of the product, but good lord, I'll do anything I can to avoid using it at work.
Git. The UX and design is broken af, nothing work, noone get it. AWS. I don't know where to begin. Nothing make sense. Nothing works. Docker. This thing is basically backward at every step. We should have never packaged different things on linux as a single "container". It does not work that way and that has created more pain than solve anything. K8s: same Go: same Venv. Goddamnit this never worked well and same as g…
Git has an absolutely atrocious interface, at every level.
The power it gives you once you've mastered it is probably worth it, but I'm not sure of that, and I think a much better UI that still retains a lot of the power (and adds more horsepower, even) is very possible.
`git`. I mean, its so popular that you get used to it eventually but the commands never make sense or map well to the mental model of what you're doing. And "getting used to it" is a seriously low bar for software IMHO.
I don't really find that to be the case in normal use at all.
That would be German mobile banking apps (websites are just slightly better).

The app is also very slow and fails miserably on slow mobile connection (very common in Germany). Finally the app doesn't do the 2FA feature, it's offered by another, even worse app from the same bank. They'r…
Slack. Hands down. No issues with the actual product per se, which is quite nice. But the experience while using Slack goes bad exponentially as the team scales if certain usage guidelines are not put in place.
Finder on Macs. I've used a Mac for over 5 years and it still amazes me how unintuitive it is for basic tasks like copying and pasting files, creating new directories, etc.

But a few weeks ago I switched to Syncthing[0], and it's the best software transition I've ever made. Opposite of everything Dropbox is now: fast, simple, and I don't even notice it running in the background. Seamless setup, and FREE. (So good, you're gonna want to donate anyway.)
