I work at... Linux?

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't blame the dev, it's all management's fault.

Nah, Teams is total shit.

I forget what it replaced, but it was basically AIM. 90s as hell, nothing ever happened unless you explicitly made it, and virtually never any connection issues.

Teams insisting on being tied to Outlook and then "breaking" each other constantly is not worth the limited functionality.

I can set a busy message on my own.

Legitimately, if AOL resurrected AIM as an internal messenger for companies, with no changes other than to make sure it runs on modern systems, it would be an improvement on Teams.

IRC.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I ran an internal OpenFire VM for internal chat. Flawless.

It replaced Skype (for business).

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

At some point during Skype for business end of life, both teams and sfb were operating on the same protocol and that explains a lot of the weird design of teams

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Skype was terrible, though.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Skype

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

And I bet those design decisions were made by management, not the developers.

Working on corporate tech as a developer means constantly making things you as a developer and/or user know is going to be shit, but the suits don't listen to reason.

Yeah I think castle doctrine gives you the right to kill him on the spot

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

And lose the chance to blackmail them into improving the program? Shortsighted.

[–] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Or Sharepoint.

It's so much harder to search for files in a company wide network drive without folder management.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

There is a better software for that. Teamcenter PLM. Centralized database, each user can organize the data into their own "folders" if they like, but you find data by its meta data, and checkout and revisioning is controlled properly

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Which Teams? There are 4 different versions I think.

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hot take: Teams is fine. Better than Slack or Zoom.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

For text communication, teams sucks. Channels and groups are weirdly different. Channel and normal meetings are weirdly different. search is f'ed up....

Zoom: yeah that's worse for text communication

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Not much of a hot take

It isn't perfect but it is decent especially in the last few years

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

That's letting a war criminal off easy. I'd string him up.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah but Legal Sharks

as an estonian, he's dead
