Holzkohlen , in I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software

I just can’t stand Kate showing me a little orange bar meaning I have not saved the changes yet. The bar must be green! I am a slave to the green bar. The white dot in vscode (I use an open source build) is a bit more tolerable, but whenever I notice it I HAVE to save the file.

Kate

Ah! Another fellow coder of culture!

It’s such a good text editor.

jaemo ,

Love me some Kate.

CEOs changed the game completely after one of them played spiderman 2.
warning: the story might change the way you think how some developers are treated across the world.
for a full documentary, see this YouTube video(in German, but you can turn on the subtitles)

asyncrosaurus ,

I don’t know if the game is the best example of busineses making top-down design decisions, since that game was an obvious scam from the start.

lemmesay ,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

you’re right. perhaps a better example would be YouTube suggesting videos by colour?

asyncrosaurus ,

I never saw that, that’s legitimately funny. I’d love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.

Not sure why? Just because you don’t use or understand a feature, it does not mean nobody else wants it? Or do you have more insight into that?

lemmesay ,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don’t. but adding a “feature”(I call it bloat) that doesn’t even work properly instead of, say, making search better might be a more sensible thing.
but as a commentor suspects, they might’ve added this because of black history month

the CEO has read in this obscure online tech blog that …

janabuggs , in I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software

Ctrl+s+s+s+s+s

MonkeMischief ,

LOL good point about just not releasing Ctrl.

The chances are non-zero that somebody out there attempts to release and press ctrl+s at the exact same time over and over like they’re hammering out Beethoven’s 5th. XD

12*2 = 24 and today I went to the store to buy some bananas but the all the bananas were too ripe

Blackmist ,

That banana’s name? Albert Einstein.

More than likely, if it’s a publicly traded company, it’s the shareholders and the board of directors.

@darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

democracy ftw!

EpeeGnome ,

The board’s job is to hire the CEO and demand good value for shareholders. The CEO’s job is to make the big decisions to achieve that goal quickly and then usually leave before their short term thinking falls apart. The manager’s job is to enforce whatever decisions the CEO makes, even if it is stupid or cruel. And the employee’s job is to suffer so that each layer above can look good to the layer above them.

Not to say there’s no good people in the system. My manager for most of my time there was actually a good manager who felt that his primary job was to deflect away the shit that rolled down from above so we could focus on our work, but then he got laid off along with half my coworkers.

I do miss writing software, but I really don’t miss working in the corporate world.

Isn’t that just Sourceforge?

McArthur , in I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software

I was never really aware I did this until I had to program something with hot reloading (I don’t remember what) and it was so insufferable…

And now my pain is with rustfmt. Just because I saved before filling in the struct fields does not mean I want you to format the struct accordingly!!!

Pulse SMS App for Android recently updated to include:

New “Discover” Section: Find new offers, inspiring content, articles & more

On a messaging app, really??? Who wants any of those features when trying to message someone?

0000 ,

The great thing is that you can simply uninstall it and leave an inspiring review.

wow pulse used to be great. did luke sell? i remember he open sourced it in 2020 but the repo seems to be gone: github.com/klinker-apps/pulse-sms-android

edit: huh looks like they got bought in oct. 2020. androidpolice.com/…/it-looks-like-pulse-sms-has-b…

(there is another repo here github.com/jarvanh/pulse-sms-android but i’m not sure how official it is)

Using AI for this is just like a script kiddie using a better search engine. You still have to python3 virus.py/chmod +x virus.sh. I don't see the difference here.

Can't script kiddies do the same thing?

DannyBoy , in What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app?

The dude who made VSCode Stories sold it for some cash.

flameguy21 ,

A feature so useless that I use VS Code almost daily and had no idea this existed

xantoxis ,

I mean, credit to Microsoft and VS Code for not putting bullshit like this right in your face

darcy ,
@darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

the bare minimum

xmunk ,

I agree - I’m much happier they pinned it to the Taskbar.

DannyBoy ,

It was/is an extension so you would’ve had to explicitly search for and install it to see it.

When script kiddies are the new high we’ve collectively reached a new low

Gullible , in What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app?

My favorite is menstruation calendars with friend lists. My least favorite is when my gynecologist wants to hang out only a week out of the month.

xmunk ,

Please tell me this is a real world example because that’s hilariously awful.

Gullible ,

God, I hope it’s not real. But it’s the only way to sell more analytics from a period app and thus an eventuality.
