- walt_grata 23d agoIs there a company that has been more damaging to the software industry than these jokers?
- inigyou 23d agoApple?
- piva00 23d agoThe one who invested in LLVM?
- inigyou 23d agoThe one who normalised needing approval from the device maker to run code.
- sublinear 23d agoI'm about as much of an Apple hater as anyone else, but you're probably thinking of user interface design (or CUPS).
- MeetingsBrowser 23d agoHow so?
- dgellow 23d agoOracle maybe?
- deadbunny 23d agoI can't believe I'm saying this but, Oracle at least provides a useful product.
- sailfast 23d agoI dunno is creating chaos that requires many expensive rewrites damaging to the industry? I kid of course - their recommendations on management of technical teams are fly-in, fly-out out of context garbage in my experience. Usually results in poor but justified decisions from senior leaders that happen in cycles of 3-5 years.
- __MatrixMan__ 23d agoMicrosoft comes to mind, with their anti-open-source era, their bullying of security researchers, and several other infractions. Plus I suspect they're gearing up for some shenanigans re: their auth portal.
- bwfan123 23d ago> Please hire more McKinsey consultants who say they’re AI experts You have to recognize that a vast majority of enterprises fall in the category of "Dumb IT". To them, IT is a cost-center and overhead as their main line of business is something else. And, they look up to the likes of McKinsey for wisdom.
- mjhay 17d agoYeah, you’re right about that. They view IT as a “cost center” to be cut to the bone (despite being essential to their product and strategy in most cases), while they have no problem with paying consultants astronomical hourly rates for nonsense like this. I get that these companies (airlines, widgets, whatever) don’t see IT as a thing that generates revenue, but it’s like having electricity or running water. You don’t think about it much, but if you don’t have it, you’re fucked.
- downrightmike 23d agoYeah, what happened in Q2 is CFOs freaked out over a modest increase in the share of the AI costs being shifted to them, away from VCs
