Teams destroying relationships

LiveLM

Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions

Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.

Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.

Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.

When teams first came out it was good. And Skype was crap.

I think when they killed Skype they pulled that team in to help Teams which led to the current situation.

That sounds like your workplaces network issue, not teams. The only time I have to relogin is after I leave the VPN'd wifi of the office building. But the button works

Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy).

my org's Teams is accessible from outside the network, so I guess it's impossible

Most likely their Firefox support is horrible

It's just the hive mind of people unable to think for themselves. It works perfectly fine for organising communication and files within projects, but it's MS so everyone must hate it such is the law of these people.

Slack is way, way, way better in almost every conceivable way.

lead developer for Skype would get any estonian to accept

Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.

Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?

Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.

We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.

The job market is pretty shit for a world that supposedly needs developers everywhere.

[email protected]

Teams has even an internal micromanager that reports to your boss how "productive" you have been (read, how fast you are typing in Office apps).

[email protected]

Are you the project's lead developer or something?

[email protected]

Nope, that problem happens on Edge too.

Not in Europe - for now. Will be different of course if fascist America murders us all over here.
