You assume that nothing was done to mitigate this but you do not have that knowledge you only assume it. You assume there's some alternate universe available to us where everything is good for everyone all the time. Let's look at

Your argument is with gravity, not rocks. Either way seems like a waste of energy to me.

They're part of the universe in the same way as rocks trees and gravity. Rocks and trees are not iherently good or bad except in our minds. They just 'are'. Same with companies. If a rock is falling you get out of the way usi

Despite the hype ChatGPT is not ready to replace search engines yet - no referencing and it literally makes up gibberish if it's not sure. At this point I don't see any advantage to Google rolling that out. GPT4, GPT5... different

If Googe doesn't need these people any more who would it benefit to keep them around? Google isn't social security and in any case who wants to work in a job where it doesn't really matter what you do because you're not

That's true a 250 person team isn't cheap. That sounds like a lot of people to me but I assume that's not just coders but all kinds of analysts, trainers, managers, implementation etc and 4 months is a commendable timeframe.

I think it was a decent decision to go home rolled ERP - by the time you get where you're going with off the shelf it's often so customised you may as well have started from scratch anyway, at least then you aren't held to ra

From an IT support & admin point of view The Windows 10+ XML based start menu stuff has been bit of a dumpster fire the whole time. Start menus would randomly not work at all and need the users whole profile nuking to resolve. Who wants

I'm not a farmer but harvest time can be pretty intense. You might only have a narrow window to get certain crops in where the crops are ready and the weather has been right and your onward destination can accept them physically and co

Maybe he's trying to create that reality by making this statement now. i.e. a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ukraine is widely supported vs Russia but I guess he’s saying that just because it’s popular doesn’t make the point morally correct in the context of what he’s saying. The LGBTQ+ is currently controversial in the context of the erosion of w

When Microsoft went from simple domains to AD around 2000 they really streaked ahead on the management side. Novell did have something comparable - was it called Zen or something - and it looked decent but Novell just didn’t have the number
