eirini1on Satya Nadella Added $850B to Microsoft

tbh I think its eventually going to be an enviromental requirement to put everything in the cloud.

At work we have an application used by financial advisors in offices during working hours only.

Why do we need to have 4 whole machines spinning 24/7 (in the name of reliability and availability) when we only need a fraction of that computing power and only between 08:00 and 17:00?

eirini1on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible

I mean yeah, s4b is getting EOL'd in 2021 in favor of Teams

eirini1on Understanding the experiences and needs of a multigenerational workforce

which is an utterly useless metric unless it also takes how the world surrounding us has changed. Just from numbers in the article, housing has become 10 times as expensive, and the millenial generation has a significantly higher debt. I didn't know college graduates made 70k in the 60s, it sounds like an absurdly high number and if I were to guess what kind of salary you'd need to have today to have the same lifestyle and financial security I'd say its at least 250k.
