Episode 234: The “severe ramifications” episode

Listen Later

We discuss Facebook’s remote work policy, predictions of 8% less IT spending, the good Slack has done for humanity, and the mystery of a beloved blog that had no RSS feed. Also: Coté is back!

Moodboard:

  • 3rd kids and pandemics
  • Severe consequences - just another way for companies to fuck you. (The exact wording was “severe ramifications.”)
  • It’s all just a spatula.
  • Downwardness.
  • You should talk less.
  • “Show Less” not working as expected.
  • All the complaints flow through my hammer.
  • Bruce Markup Language.
  • It is what it is, Matt Ray.
  • So much trash.
  • I was already kind of full of webinars.
  • Shit content is shit content.
  • Even Screenflow doesn’t do ripple delete by default.
  • A webinar Renaissance.
  • I wanna be a software vegan.
    • The Rundown

    • Gartner: IT spending will drop 8% as COVID-19 hits enterprise wallets
      • “devices and data-center systems experiencing the largest drops in spending.”
      • Slack mobile app gets UI refresh for easier navigation
        • “Slack’s goal is to have as much of your working life spent there as possible.”
        • Topic: is Slack making work better? (Coté: yeah, the normals all use it, so it brings in more collaboration, different norms for doing so. But, do sales people use it? It’s fun to observe who doesn’t use it at work.)
        • Farewell to Beyond the Beyond
          • Coté: I could never find the RSS feed for this so I missed out on it, mostly.
