Files are everywhere. They are every-thing. Except now, thanks to the disaster that is SharePoint, nobody has a fucking idea where they are any more. Because they've been abstracted away by some genius on the Teams team.
So nobody can find what they were just working on. Or they have no idea if the thing they find is the right version. It's a total shambles.
A hierarchical file system was boring, but it worked. And it still does.
Disclosure: I'm Johnny.Decimal and my business depends on files still being a thing.
- moffkalast 2y agoI can't believe I'm seriously reading a discussion around the existence of files, what is this, an SNL sketch? This very site is being served from a file system.
- HenryBemis 2y agoI don't think the comment was about the "file system", more like about the "humans" that dump every file they have to whichever folder they find available, and in the end of the day/week/month/year nobody knows where that file is. And then the person leaves the company/org and this file will float in space (SharePoint) forever, never to be recalled again, never to be read again, alone, in a cold world (computer room). Speaking about SNL sketch.. it reminded me James Cameron's reaction on the Papyrus sketch --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1-k__LF40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1-k__LF40

It will likely eventually be used as training data for an LLM and get an afterlife. Resistance is futile.
