It is all about the sick fascination of social media, internet browsing, music/videos, and not real computing. The make my job of developing business and scientific software harder with every release of the “next big thing” having to wade through all the crap layers and security issues.
hey- its job security!
where do you work? I am a software engineer too and am looking for a major change-
Texas before they secede or maybe Tucson (which I think would join them)
Yes, underneath little has changed in computing, business people do the same things they’ve done for decades with them. The one big change was going to graphical, from command line, and making the browser the front-end to every functional use.
Yet the developers keep churning out new releases for trite features. The create change for the sake of change. While someone productive is trying to use the tool the developers don’t even have a clue why rearranging the way the desktop functions is unwelcome.
