All of them he was involved in?
I remember the first one apparently had trees that grew in “real time” and it turned out to be one single tree changed depending on your life stage, very revolutionary!
This guy has a good idea, shouts it from the rooftops, and then tells the programmers to do it and they go uhhhhhh not on this memory budget, won’t happen!
At a different job, I had someone print an email, put it in an envelope and post it to an external faxing service…
I had a manager at work who did not handle tech well. He had a period of unavailability every Friday as he had to do a weekly report.
I walked in on him doing that report, which took been two and four hours, because he be was manually copying hundreds of numbers from a csv file to a report document. By hand!
He was writing down each number in a notepad, using a pen, then switched to the reporting doc and wrote it back, one line at a time.
It took me less than 5 minutes to write an excel macro that did his weekly report automatically, with extra bells and whistles to boot.
This was the absolute worst example of work hard not smart I’ve ever seen.
I’ve had some good fun with this with friends the last few days but the latest patch, which dropped yesterday, was supposed to improve hit registration. Unfortunately it seems to have done the opposite for a lot of users, with a great new message claiming ‘packetloss’ as the reason 5 out of 7 shots didn’t register. This coming from a modern computer on a gigabit network with >30 ping to the server.
We also had some weird issues with bandaging and healing people just not registering, but still spending resources, and a lot of people just gave up trying to heal altogether.
Steve, in fact, was part of the BoD when Reddit stopped the revenue sharing scheme that some apps had up until… 2021? Something like that, don’t quote me on it.
It does certainly seem like it, but what exactly are they trying to achieve? They don’t have an IPO yet and even if they got one now it would be devalued over before the shit show. And with every new day reddit shows potential investors that they have absolutely no control of the situation, and just doubles down on idiocy.
How is it supposed to make money at this point?
We, the global media company, are proud to announce we have finally created the brainfuckinator from award winning sci-fi novel “don’t build the brainfuckinator”
you know the lemmy platform is made by those same tankies, right?
