I'm not going to go so far as to promote violence, by I disagree about despising software. There is a lot of software out there that should/could be replaced with simple process changes. If you despise software enough to know that it is not right tool for the job even when you are a programmer, you can safe yourself, management and users headaches by avoiding writing a line.
- eternityforest 4y agoI'm not sure I've actually seen this IRL. I've seen cases where new custom software is the wrong approach(Actually, that's most of the time), but usually it's because there's some existing software that can already do whatever it is. There hasn't been many times when I've seen something that people would normally use software for, and willingly chosen a process that isn't primarily software driven. I think the one of the only times is when dealing with physical tasks in personal life, I'll usually put up reminder signs like "Check lint trap" rather than use to-do list software. Even then I'll use my Bluetooth printer to make the sign so it looks nice and neat.... The other case is tabletop RPGs, I've yet to see any tech at all that doesn't completely ruin immersion for non-scifi games, phones are very culturally charged objects that can instantly change the mood to "Screen staring club".
