  • Teams wasn’t specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren’t working remotely.

    I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.





  • Him: What is with these creephounds?!? Me: They creeps!

    I hope you both mean Facebook and not the targeted men.

    I very rarely use them but when I do I am targeted non-stop by FB and especially Insta with pictures of young girls. It’s absolutely disgusting and embarrassing (if someone sees it.) The search page is the worst. I don’t click on any of them, I scroll past them as fast as possible in my feed, I don’t like or follow anything like that, and yet it never stops. And that’s one of the main reasons I won’t use them other than to communicate with specific family members or friends.




  • Developers rarely control the tools budget; their managers do.

    So this whole article is a moot point

    Developers detest marketing. If you want to sell them a tool, make it easy for them to find the information they need and leave them alone to try out your tool.

    So marketing does work, just not “traditional” or “mainstream” marketing. We’ve had shareware since the beginning times, which was the ultimate try before you buy. Now we have the subscription model (fbow).

    Yeah I’d like to think I’m better than marketing, but really, it just takes the right marketing, and I’m putty in their hands.






  • I haven’t been following Atlassian recently and was wondering if you were just tossing that out there… But no, that is literally their plan:

    This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement.

    “Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that knowledge workers will love to use every day,” he added.
