The most hilariously ironic thing about this is Office for Mac is trash and has been always.
- belZaah 7mo agoThe weird thing is the way it’s trash. It breaks weird things no dev should ever have to touch. At one point Excel left horizontal lines on screen, when scrolling. Bullets and numbering just straight up refuses to restart numbering. It _worked_ why did you break it? Who gained what out of you breaking it?
- ido 7mo agoBecause the one thing about bugs that is universally true is that developers intentionally create them?
- exe34 7mo agowhere I work, we're not allowed to merge them. we test every change, and we review everything to make sure there are no regressions in all the obvious features. scrolling through our webpage will never break in production, because we use people with a full set of eyes to check before merge.
- ido 7mo agoI believe you but I've literally not worked at a single place that puts that much scrutiny on PRs and I've been working as a professional programmer for 20 years.
- exe34 7mo agoI did luck out with the $current_job. Software engineering is a tool to do the job right. I'd hate to work somewhere where software is the product.
- Zanfa 7mo ago> It _worked_ why did you break it? Who gained what out of you breaking it? This applies to so much of modern software it's not even funny.
- mahrain 7mo agoOffice for Mac 2008, when they shifted to a new codebase, was pretty good for a while, just slooooow.
- tim333 7mo agoPersonally I'm very happy with Office for Mac 2019. Everything works, no cloud nonsense. What's supposed to be wrong with it?
