Umm. If you file taxes with a computer, you’re using Intuit.
If you have a datacenter, it has a good shot of running some VMware.
If you run logistics at almost any medium sized or bigger company, you’re using SAP or Oracle.
If you have a group of employees that sell things, Salesforce is common.
This is the software that literally runs the world. If you’re not familiar with it, then you’re ignorant about how the world works. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I don’t understand the pride in it. Especially on HN, where Hackers tend to be curious.

- parasubvert 4y agoTurbotax sure (includes Canada), but Quickbooks is used globally.
- hhmc 4y agoThere are many countries (the UK I can say with certainty, but I believe also the EU), where no 3rd party software is needed to complete a tax return for a typical person. Either it's completely automatic (like most PAYE employees in the UK), or the tax system is simplified to point where it's a simple form to complete.
