@Meligy @shanselman I think Windows should be a UX leader and not just catchup with Mac. Maybe there is a bigger problem to be solved than "taskbar customization"

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Transforming legacy software doesn’t have to mean risky rewrites. There's a modern path that combines the Strangler Fig Pattern, AI coding tools, and Scrum, mitigating risk while turning feedback loops into drivers of growth. ow.ly/WC1n50WVgNZ @utakapp #Agile #Software

In his latest blog post, PST Peter Gfader explores a hidden culprit behind problematic team dynamics in software development. It’s not the bugs—it’s something deeper. 🦠 ow.ly/N5Fq50WMW0H @peitor #Scrum #SoftwareDevelopment

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%. Zero point three per cent. The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%. Thirty seven point seven per cent. In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.

i work at meta. hr systems. mostly comp processing. quiet job. stable. sometimes i daydream about retiring in portugal. today a package hit my queue. base + bonus + equity. looks normal at first glance. then i open the details. $1,000,000,000 over four years. plus signing. plus year 1 minimum: $100m. i stare at it like it’s a typo. check the name. triple check the level. researcher. coolcoolcool. so now i have to enter this into workday. i paste the first number, field throws an error.“value must be below $99,999,999.” lol. okay. i try splitting it. base in one bucket, equity in another. nope. i try scientific notation. it rounds it down. the system can’t HANDLE a billion dollars. i call someone on payroll infra. tell them i’ve got a 10-digit comp packet. they think i’m joking. i forward the req. they go quiet. “we’re gonna need to escalate this,” someone mutters. “to who?” i ask. “god, maybe.” next thing i know zuck’s chief of staff is in the thread. now i’m in a thread with zuck. because of a number. then i find out the guy declined the offer. just said no. no negotiation. no counter. just… no. i’ve been maxing out my 401k for 11 years & this man said no to a billion dollars like he was skipping dessert. i close the ticket. delete the draft. go for a walk. & then i rethink everything.

No Fucking Words 🤬 Trump compared the war in Ukraine to "two little kids fighting like crazy in a park." He then proceeded to tell Putin "Maybe you have to keep fighting!" Anyone got that Nobel peace prize laying around so I can shove it up @realDonaldTrump's ass? #Suka
