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 writing software is not like engineering"

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.

#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!
(boosts very welcome)
