I am a very minor part of a project, I think I put in a single A record into DNS. But I have to be on every single call for this project and I'm actually not sure what its about anymore. Or if I ever knew.

All this AI and nobody has made a bot that listens to your meeting for your name to be mentioned and then presents a summary of the last couple of minutes of discussion.

I've seen that Teams can give a summary of the meeting for people who joined a few minutes late so I feel like we're not far off from that.

Just a running summary, AI meeting notes would be nice. But I don't really want that to be a real thing because I bet it would lead to meetings being worse somehow , maybe just for myself.

Meetings are terrible and the ease with which you can hold a meeting and invite people from all over the org when they're Teams/Zoom meetings has only made it worse. While anything that makes that experience better seems like a good thing, it also means we keep doubling down on this terrible model because technology keeps making it just barely tolerable even as it gets worse.

If you're going to make a bot that writes meeting summaries, then make it real-time alert anyone talking if they're repeating a point already made or going against a previous decision or trying to take credit for someone else's work. Edit: And also if someone's straying from the agenda. Oh wait, there is no agenda.

Also have the bot sound an alarm if anyone brings up a topic that's not on the agenda. edit - drat, beat by an edit

Man, working on a project for a customer and one of the requirements is that it must all fit on one page (which is impossible, because of how many fields their loving form has), and they hit us with the 'having 3 printed pages isn't economically viable and is a pain for production' Then set up a loving tablet and send files to it or something?!

In order to reduce the likelihood of false alerts, you must format your agendas using AAScript, which is a convenient new markup language similar to, but notably distinct from, markdown.

Apparently I'm a notably good cat herder so as long as I am setting the agrnda meetings take like 15 minutes. Unless someone derails me by asking about Pokémon or whatever.

I've done this with length email chains or when someone sends IM conversation history instead summarizing it. Unfortunately our internal chatGPT isn't concise or accurate but it's still better than reading the source directly.

Speaking of Teams, our org transitioned to Teams from Skype this week, and I'm... cautiously optimistic? This is a huge improvement software-wise. I just hope it's not going to be used like "hey, your activity indicator isn't green, get back to work".

Anything is better than Skype for Business, which wasn't that good before they stopped adding features about five years ago.

While anything that makes that experience better seems like a good thing, it also means we keep doubling down on this terrible model because technology keeps making it just barely tolerable even as it gets worse. I grumble at 7am meetings. I grumble at 9pm meetings. I grumble at the globalization of the workforce and how it has eroded the boundaries of the traditional workday. But then I remember that I haven’t put pants on since Covid and I am always home when my kids leave for school and am always home when they get home. And the ratio of calls at weird hours to loving off for a few hours in the middle of the day is heavily skewed in my favor so…

That was me at the beginning of this week. Fired off an email to all the people who'd immediately need to hear it of "I'm not even going to look at my work laptop until Jan 8th unless my cat is sitting on it and being cute, call me if and only if there is a matter of divine import" and promptly logged the gently caress out. Felt good.

Tangential, an employee on vacation joined a work call on Thursday because he "was bored" and I just mocked him the entire hour trying to get him to go do something, anything but work.

I'd kick them off the call and report them to their manager. If you are their manager, I would issue a (verbal) warning. You're either working or on vacation. There's no in between.

I finished up on Tuesday this week and since Thursday afternoon my work stuff is in a different country to me. They can try contact me for emergencies, but I can't do poo poo from here. Wait, not "can't". "Won't". They have no need to know that I have a better laptop with me than the one they gave me.
