Im Canadian (Not Onario), so I really wanted to enjoy reading this as a peak inside what IT is like in that environment, but the LLM generated headers and patterns in the piece really put me off and I had to stop reading after a couple of minutes Im afraid.

I think this article would really benefit from being rewritten in your own words. The concept is good

What’s the problem there exactly? There’s nothing necessarily diametrically opposed in the two articles. They’re almost complimentary really

Strongly agree for the same reasons. I don’t subscribe to his stuff for any particular niche, I just enjoy the “this is a thing I am going to learn lots about and make a video”.

These are very common in Canada still and anytime I see one I point at it and make the same joke “Looks it’s Vent Reznor” and my girlfriend has never once laughed. Oh well.

No, they are very tailored to that use case. They arent general languages - but they are still probably the best examples of successful visual programming languages.

It seems odd to me not to mention things like MaxMSP or PD in an article like this. Arguably Max is one of the most successful standalone visual programming languages (standalone in so far as it’s not attached to a game engine or similar - it exists only for its own existence).

Gov orgs usually would use a FedRamp tenant and those weren’t impacted (apparently, my trust in Okta right now isn’t high)

I mean it is. I’m contesting it. So unless you have some quantifiable data it is in contention.

I like ICQ. I used it. But I really just don’t agree it had “more” features. It had _different_ features. And those features are just kinda wildly different because of how business and the internet had changed. I just really do not think it is a useful point to try and imply is a weakness of slack somehow.

I was there but thank you for the condescending assumption.

I find myself continuously blessed to run slack on a daily basis and literally never encounter an issue with it being an electron app. My laptop must be magic or something!

In what way did it have “more features than slack”? This feels more like “had other features that I like”

Not sure where I even remotely did that? The comment above was my only contribution to this thread. It’s an isolated reply to the comment I replied to
