My org went for RTO two or three years ago. This year they've also started cutting locations from teams that are too distributed: you can either move or you can leave. There will still be a lot of people living on Teams, but a lot less

Neither you nor the blog posts author had heard of that before that ridiculous GitHub issue from yesterday. You're all using the exact same link to the exact same page. This is intellectual dishonesty from you, the blog post author and

The first three questions I got were: - Wishing a colleague a Eid Mubarak, at which the colleague mentions that she's no longer of the faith. - It's Odd Socks day for Alzheimer awareness. Will you take off a sock? (No -> Linda

I'm in a corporate environment. There's a study group to see if maybe we can potentially get some value out of those AI tools. They've been "studying" the issue for over a year now. They expect to get some cloud ser

Fucking agreed. Anything less than a fire alarm should shut the fuck up. That includes apps (games) that spend a minute screeching their godawful "mood music" during a loading screen. Or worse, won't allow you to shut the &qu

Out of curiosity I went a bit deeper on this. I didn't expect it could do this without a calculator, because of the nature of the technology. But I still wanted to see what it would do. So I asked it: > Me: I have these two numbers:
