Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn’t want to change it. I don’t think I can walk by her desk while she’s working ever again.
What have you got?
Thousands of unread emails in an inbox.
Using a downloads folder as your entire filesystem.
Anything that has a popup telling me about a new feature that 1) has existed for a long time and 2) I already knew about (basically office 365)
Features and button I can’t remove (basically office 365 and copilot)
When something changes its name to become less descriptive. (Basically microsoft office to office 365 to windows 365 to 365 to 3)
Basically office 365
Bonus: How do onedrive? With local file system? Where is my even? Fuck
Oh also those assholes who “hAvE aN aPp IdEa”. Less so when it’s a shittier version of something that already exists and you can ruin their dreams of become the next zuck or gates. (But also, if it was actually a good idea, why wouldn’t I just steal it?)
When people learn you can program and they think you can program everything. (See previous comment)
People who call it “coding” instead of “programming”. I am writing a program as in what you read to know what is occuring at an event? Like a play? Something with scenes and acts. There is progression from beginning to end. What I am doing is creating a routine for an actor. I’m not writing hieroglyphics, and if you are too stupid to realize that, you shouldn’t get to name the fucking thing.
People who ask for help and are upset when you tell them you fixed the problem before, taught them how to do it themselves, and procede to tell them they are wasting your time, don’t listen, or are an imbicile.
Using other people’s keyboards. At all.
When IT treats you like the rest of the unwashed masses. When IT gets in your way or confiscates something. When people think you are literal IT (Why the fuck would I be able to reset your workday password?)
I’m going to stop before the vein in my forehead explodes. Again. But I’ll probably add more later.
You’re tripping on the “coding” thing. Two different things, coding is all encompassing to scripting AND programming, whereas programming would consist of programming languages only. I’d rather someone call it “coding” instead of “programming” if they don’t know. Not like the average non-IT person walking by should be expected to know you’re using e.g. C++, not bash.
