  • I like the spirit of the article, but any European who’s been to the USA has stories about how strangely pedantic people there can be. Ironically, the USA was the only place I, a white man, suffered xenophobia. It’s quite irritating to be thrown in the same bucket as those people due to the colour of my skin. What’s that called again?








  • I don’t have experience in IT, but 5/7 places I’ve been to supported multiple OSes, and the one thing I can definitely agree with is; that the cheaper places seem to hire clickops for their IT team and wonder why everything is so difficult.

    We don’t need to replace every accountant’s Excel with LibreOffice overnight, but forcing your dev team to basically setup their own mini IT infra to get anything done is incredibly inefficient. I spend a few hours every week dealing with hanging explorer, crashing software, filesystem operations, buggy windows manager etc.
