I dunno man, Teams has only given me a slight headache this morning instead of a cluster migraine.

I was also about to make a snide remark about teams but at this point it's more tragedy than comedy.

  Bashing Teams is tooo much of a low hanging fruit at this point.

    Maybe they can use AI to write them a better Teams app.

      Maybe they already did?

        sure they did, but they can’t show

        Based on its performance characteristics, it's clearly using a DNN model, client-side, to generate and render the UI.

    It’s better than Slack now. I grimaced when we started using Slack back in 2016: those ~200ms UI delays between switching conversation tabs (and the ~3s freezes when switching accounts) were incredibly grating - but we hoped they’d fix the worst user-facing parts of Electron (and the excessive RAM usage) but 7 years later it’s still as bad as it’s always been. What’s their excuse?

I'm not sure that that's due to an improvement in Teams, it's probably more the formation of scar tissue that's offering a bit of respite. But something else might suddenly happen to rip the scab off and you'll be right back where you started.

  One time I decided that I wanted to edit the dictionary used by Teams because I was tired of getting a spelling underline when I use contractions. Apparently, the dictionary didn't include contractions. Anyway, many rabbit holes later, I found out that Teams uses an undocumented hard-coded call to the dictionary used by Google Chrome. You cannot edit the dictionary, you cannot supplement it with a custom dictionary, and you cannot modify the hard-code address or use a different dictionary. You can't even turn off this call. And don't get me started on how Teams ignores every UI standard that other Windows programs use, and it's basically not modifiable in any way. Thanks, I hate it.

    The company i work for uses the Microsoft eco system, including Teams. I love how the tools work together. No complaints here.
