This is why I like it here. Somebody does irrefutably incredible work outside of their comfort zone, and somebody else goes "yeah actually I was born in that zone. Moulded by it. Here's how to improve it" (in a positive way)
- ValdikSS 1mo agoOh no, I wasn't, and that's definitely not my comfort zone. I mess with the printers and printing stack due to anger, not because I like it. It's bugs on bugs, with bugs chasing bugs! So little developers, so complex stack with 25 years of technical debt, and little community around because it's not a sexy technology to be involved in. That's why I have to dive deep and fix my bugs myself if I want to make it work properly as I would like it to. I also ended up making my own print server device, because China did not make a proper one for some reason for all these years.

- quijoteuniv 1mo agoSame feeling when family or friends ask me for help with Micros word about formatting, tables or inserting pictures in the last 25 years….
- lopis 1mo agoAnger is the only valid emotion when dealing with printers.

- TheMiller 1mo agoThis thread made me laugh. I worked on network printing software in Banyan VINES a century or two ago, and my wife always wondered why I hated printing software so much. Everything about the printing software stack, especially in Windows, is terrible.

- Neywiny 1mo agoHey sadly this stuff doesn't ask for consent when it makes you an expert. Everybody hates printers, only a few make their own print server device
