I googled the author, he’s a Tech Bro pretending to be a media critic. Shame on The Guardian for publishing this moronic clickbait guff.

I would say the guy clearly doesn’t understand the most basic concepts of fiction, except I suspect he probably does but is ignoring them in order to push his agenda.

Thank you.

“I don’t have to know CS201 Data Structures and Algorithms to do my job”, says a thousand D-tier coders online, whose code is costing their employers a small fortune in unnecessary cloud compute bills because they just blindly imported a ton of python libraries and went with the least suitable data structures and algorithms for the task at hand, because that’s what the defaults were for that library. “It fulfils all the requirements from the client perfectly, bow to my experience and skill in delivering customer value”.

It’s classic Dunning-Kruger, incompetent people who are too incompetent to know they’re incompetent.

Bonus points when they cite the fact that they were involved with a project that cost a hundred million dollars, as “proof” that they’re a world-class expert, when it probably would have been a ten million dollar project with an actually competent engineer…

That was the opposite of nuance. It was pedantry that deliberately missed the point.

When an influential group of powerful people make hate speech a part of their standard rhetoric, is EXACTLY when you MUST block it on your platform, not a signal that it’s time to start letting it slide, you fucking pricks.

I’ve been paying for Office365 home for years. Recently I started a business and signed up for 365 Business for the company email address.

Outlook stopped working, because the 365 Business account - which I specifically signed up in order to do email - doesn’t include local Outlook, and my existing home-licensed one throws a hissy fit if I try connecting it to my business account.

Microsoft sucks.
