Since LibreOffice 4.5ish I have preferred both writer and calc. Feels more robust and consistent + a lot snappier (incl. starttime).
I only use it for collaborative editing of docx and xlsx.

And I who thought the KDE/Gnome wars was over.

I disagree wrt office 365 (except for the collaborative editing in the browser feature). I dont recognize the price either - more like 22£ (unless its exchange only).
Cost accumulates at scale.

I thought that was the definition of a manager?

Thats a nice way of putting cronyism, lobbyism and tech-iliteratism.

If you adjust only for inflation then its about 82% cumulative 1992-2018.

~70k today.
Programming python in 92 - nice :)

I know Norway - was just curious. Your explanation matched my expectations.
As most places: Once you hit the ceiling the only way forward is sales.

Maybe some are. There is however nothing nothing elegant about running 5 massive electron, node etc apps in your browser w. 60% code overlap grinding everything to a halt. Its not so much the language but how its being used.

I agree. Maybe its the barrier to entry for publishing that has gotten a lot lower and thus pushing down the quality of public code (which is natural). Or maybe im just worried about everything being pushed to the browser.

I disagree completely - javascript encourages shitty programming by design and by culture. If you don’t expose the young chances are they won’t get infected.

If you have never been exposed to programming before chances are you will struggle no matter the name of the school. The name will, most likely, help you get a better job but don’t worry about the skill level attained (unless you went to something like Trump university).

True :) I know the strip. tbh I just felt like trolling the insecure “data hackers” crowd. Looking at downvotes: I think it worked.

No such thing as “Data science” - just a fancy term for trade school computer skills. Thats why.

Unfortunately most people will never encounter such a manager.

Linux will run on almost everything these days. Of course they care: Linux desktops are finally starting to run out of the box. Kill the baby before it grows up.

Yes - very unreasonable. Im sure its an enormeous expense. Better keep those devices 10 security updates behind to make sure the bloatware still works. I mean - they already paid right: why bother updating.
