Thats rediculous, and theres plenty of other equally undermining things technology does these days. When did technologists get so arrogant to think they should implement these things? I dont want my computer to think or make decisions for m

He’s talking about real artistry, by people. Sure machines can make things that look ‘right’ but that bread isnt gonna taste great, and the ornamental formwork won’t look right either. Their point about industrial scales vs manual artistry

Good estimates come from experienced estimators, and to me that is pretty much “guesstimating”. No one is ever completely correct though, the estimate needs to acknowledge risks and how they may blow out time, cost or quality, then mitigate

The board are in that role because they’ve made the mistakes and are now experts who can avoid them and are truested to. If its an obvious mistake they shouldnt be board members.

They should hire more humans to do a proper job and provide actual customer service, using their excessive profits. The AI/automation stuff is just cost cutting and its lowering the quality of service.

I agree - wasnt the browser intended to be the user agent? And counterpoint to some of the replies to you, surely people can just pay instead of sites being ad-based, what other industries operate in this absurd way? The public must think

Law firms use document management systems to maintain versioning of files, but only one user can edit at a time for the ones I’ve seen. I’ve found them to be annoying if I’m totally honest. Ive also seen some advanced document comparison to

I think it depends on your priorities. I was heavily career focused, then had kids and focus my time on family now. If i really wanted to i could pick them up from daycare late, i could get baby sitters, i could do what’s required to be mor

These 2 things can and do both exist - they both represent a pretty worst-case outcome respectively for users and for IT teams. I feel I’ve worked at both these places.

Unfortunately the flipside of this is very common as well - you are a senior team member, improving those around you and should be promoted and/or given a raise. That allows the manager to let you keep doing it for free, and either (a)
