I'd expect nothing less, if I ask Google assistant about my last purchases, I expect it's going to show me the data. It's bad enough that Amazon doesn't include what you are purchasing in the email and that you have to open the site to see...
I might not necessarily want to go back to the office full time (I always had the possibility for part time remote work anyway), but I'm missing my bike ride commute and some off-record discussion with colleagues that are harder to have over Teams.
Like if an organization with >500 000 employees across the world is the same everywhere. You might have been working with incompetent people, but it's not my case. Successful projects are delivery every day.
My worst experiences always come from working with Americans and I don't come to the conclusion that all Americans are incompetent.
It's always funny to see Silly Valley people that think they are so cool while working on yet another app that show ads.
Meanwhile at Accenture, I just delivered again another successful project with a real impact. When a very large organization across different regions were struggling to produce schedules for thousand workers with different skill sets, different union rules, night and day shifts, they came to see us. Now, everything is automated and the client saves months of work.
I sleep better at night knowing that I helped those workers now get access to their scheduled weeks in advance through a portal instead of having surprise night shifts thrown at them. Maybe I should make another app that track people online?
Well, it might be a mistake, but I find that the best communities I'm a part of are echo chambers.
I like urbanism Facebook groups where we can discuss how to improve a specific intersection, for example. Where we are like-minded people and we try to find the best solution.
When we have the same discussion in the neighborhood group, the thread becomes a shouting match with drivers requesting to be able to run through the intersection at full speed with no inconvenience and to get cyclists and pedestrians out of the way. With the usual "they don't pay taxes". So it is less interesting.
I'm Power Platform architect, I have been working with Dynamics for more than 10 years. Your post feels more like you were thrown on a project where you didn't know the stack.
I've seen those projects where I'm brought in to fix some internal project gone wrong because they took internal softdev with no knowledge of a platform that exist for more than 15 years.
Meanwhile, I shipped whole systems in half the time you took to "roll your own".
Just try to roll your own ERP/CRM, we saw plenty of time how that goes.
I came exactly to say that, the guy is a nut job manager. Working weekend and probably being belittled by this guy while doing that, for what? A driving app, wow.
Oh God, my Facebook feed is way more interesting than the comments section on HN of a post about leaving Facebook. Are you all wearing your "I left Facebook" badge?
