on the one hand i've never personally encountered a process that works, but that is sort of beside the point, as i am perfectly willing to accept that it can work. rather i'm just noting that doing (and even trying to do) software properly with a lot of process is incredibly boring.

tbqh i think we've been talking past each other entirely too, the jwz screed is pretty much proto-agile (basically making the point that if you say 'groupware' it means you are planning to invent a gigantic list of enterprise needs out of nowhere, where quick revisions of the existing calendar, driven by actual user needs, would have produced a better software product even for corporate use). it notably is not about not *using* groupware things, it is about how ill-defined a thing "groupware" is to *build*. while i do think all process is by nature pretty boring my experience has been that starting from something agile'ish and adding to it where needs pop up tends to work out. i've worked on projects where the initial requirements engineering was a huge part, with a large dedicated team, (due to legal restrictions and the need to maintain a lot of legacy behaviors of a past system), but predictably tons of things had to change during the project, and the requirements in the end didn't specify some of the most important parts at all.

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:this is such a silicon valley brogrammer quote at no point does he suggest that it doesn't. he's saying building software for managers rather than day to day users makes software that only managers want to use, and probably not even they like it. idgaf about his goal of making software people want to hack on or whatever, but the line is funny and the point is sound. building software for a process sounds like a great idea until you use any erp ever. calling your product "groupware" invites that sort of checkbox feature set for the enterprise crowd, and in his experience resulted in terrible trash that no one wanted to actually use.

Endless Mike posted:actually, it is "drat compelling" - gizmodo dot com, 2020 of course, given that his main complaint is that it's loving bad at just running for any length of time and most of the features don't make any sense also, a pro is that it prevents you from being distracted by your phone, because you're distracted by the device itself which he admits he was using the same way he used his phone. gizmodo product reviews are always a masterclass in quality journalism

Looks similar to the Walkman that Techmoan reviewed a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzdy_2kGGhM Good to see Mat is faster than pro tech sites, and gives a far better review too (as in his review says it's bad).

Imagine if smartphone makers would just put a couple more customizable buttons on the side so you didn't have to buy a special device just to have walkman style controls.

quote:Why would anyone want a Walkman in the streaming age? That’s the question I asked myself when I first fiddled with the small Sony NW-A105. One month later, I’ve learned enough about the music player to answer that question and many more. Sometimes its good to cut out the distractions of texts and phone calls and just embrace a tiny device that pumps out high-quality tunes quote:It costs $350, gently caress lmao

One note about these buttons: They’re designed to work seamlessly with Sony’s Walkman application (see below.) The skip buttons haven’t worked for me on Spotify or Google Music, but they did work on Tidal.
