Why does all #software insist on being your buddy these days?
Can we go back to the old days where instead of trying to slide into your DMs, and be your best frend, software was a recalcitrant old hag in a back alley who spat out an obscure error code that at least when you looked it up in a knowledge base told you exactly what you had done wrong and what, if anything, you could do about it? This…

This popped up on one of my feeds a while ago. Today I read it and I think it very well captures why #developing #software can be very hard at times.

Why is everything on the cloud these days?
I’m kind of getting tired of every piece of professional and business software being a SaaS or cloud-based solution these days.
I have a good computer, it can run a lot of complex programs on it locally. I wish I had the option to do so.
Not everything needs to be synced 24/7. And I’d much rather have some tools include a cloud sync functionality that backs up changes with some kind of regular frequency for version control and cross-device access, but otherwise runs on my device.
These days, when I’m trying to go work somewhere without an internet connection or am traveling and have spotty data - I can’t access 90% of my work. Files don’t back up locally even when there’s a native desktop client app. Why?
It feels wasteful, sending so much data to the internet and back with constantly required online sync and web apps.
I feel nostalgic now, remembering the days of software that would require buying a license every couple of years, that would run on your device and could be accessed even from the top of a remote mountain if you wished, and that didn’t log you out every other week.

It's not a language or a framework that I ever use, but I think that "don't be too clever" is one of the most important rules that every software developer should abide by.

Example 317 of why our #productmanagers may be shit hot at designing a product, but shitty at making #software :
We have the same half dozen settings that can be specified in 3 different locations. Think parameter in location A overrides it in location B which overrides it in location C. Valid use case…

#AskFedi: meeting-booking software like Calendly or SimplyMeet.me
I need to set up one of those things where other people can pick a time for us to meet.
I only need it for a few meetings on a few days, so I don't want to have to maintain an entire online calendar up-to-date just so that it can see where the gaps are. I want one which is easy to use as follows: I go into the thing itself and select a few chunks of time which _are_ available, it turns those into bookable slots.
I'd also like it to be easy to remove unbooked slots manually without messing up any adjacent booked ones.
Previously I've not even used this type of software the other way round, as the person booking someone _else's_ available time - so I'm starting fresh with looking into it!
I've got my eye on SimplyMeet.me, because the below Zapier article said it was a nicely customisable one and can do intake questions, which would be nice. Has anyone else used that?
Any other recommendations or pointers?
Thanks in advance for clues!

Content warning: cautionary tale: removing free tiers that people rely on
"After 18 years of providing free, production-ready container images to millions of developers worldwide, Bitnami was effectively ending its free tier. ...
"Hock Tan doesn’t do interviews about his strategy. He doesn’t need to. His pattern is so consistent that VMware employees were updating their résumés before the ink dried on the $69 billion acquisition deal ...
"His formula never varies. Buy a company with sticky enterprise customers. Fire thousands of employees—VMware alone lost 2,900 employees by December 2023, according to CRN and The Register. Kill the free tiers and small-business offerings. Jack up prices by 200%, 500%, sometimes 1,000%. Then use the cash to fund the next acquisition. ...
"For two decades, developers built an incredible ecosystem based on sharing and mutual benefit. Bitnami alone grew to over 4 billion downloads annually, according to their own statistics. But that era is ending. Not with a bang, but with a pricing page.
"In its place, we’re getting a new model: enterprise software as hostage situation. Build your infrastructure on our platform. Integrate deeply. Depend completely. Then watch as we turn the screws, knowing you have no escape."
