In this case the people tasked with using the product won’t actually mind.
- actionfromafar 4mo agoYes, exactly that. Be Azure and Office 365 and Sharepoint and AWS where everyone else is Debian Stable on a USB thumbdrive.
- fragmede 4mo agoOffice 365? Ew, Google docs, please.
- NitpickLawyer 4mo agoNo one is getting fired for using SotA.
- spwa4 4mo agoIf the price difference is 2x? Sure. If the price difference is 50x? No way.
- brainwad 4mo agoSo long as the benefit:cost ratio is still sufficiently high, I don't think anyone gets fired for not scrimping. Better to encourage positive EV behaviour by your employees than to scare them away by firing them for not being perfectly optimal.
- ThunderSizzle 4mo agoThe CEO won't get in trouble, but the employee who can't justify a bad result/prompt?
- RobotToaster 4mo agoTell that to Oracle
- watwut 4mo agoAccenture says "yeah totally CEOs will pay a lot for literal nothing"
- dualvariable 4mo agoLaughs in 2005-era VMWare and EMC...
- saltcured 4mo agoWell, getting laid off during the bankruptcy spiral is a form of firing. But that is months away, so not my problem?
