Microsoft Admits AI Defeat?

This is longer than any standup meeting I ever had.

I work at an Azure shop We had a 3rd party company that funds some of our projects ask us for some data on the Azure outputs of those projects. So we reached out to MSFT and had them pull the data and send it over to us and we bundled it into a report and gave it to the 3rd party funder. Turns out the 3rd party funder needed that report because Microsoft was asking them for it... Instead of Microsoft just internally getting this data they had to get 2 other companies involved and probably $10s of thousands of in consulting fees to get an excel sheet they could have easily gotten internally if they just knew where to go. And we still do this for them EVERY SINGLE MONTH. The company is so full of bloat idk how they get anything done at this point.

We have a similar problem where I work. The problem we have is that everyone is so specialized that you have to put together 10 "experts" from different teams if you want to make anything. Each team have their own "Scrum Sprints" and release pipelines. So the problem is not that it takes a long time to develop, but the overhead is so large that we only develop 10% of the time we spend at work. Everything else is meetings, mailing, chatting and using Jira. It's actually extremely frustrating

Institutional incompetence = lots of smart people together making stupid things

teej is 100% correct about how the thinking works and the institutional inability. And Casey is right about the “someone’s going to own” aspect, too. Whenever more than one team does a thing, it’s very painful for everyone, including the customers who don’t understand why there is no coherence

11:10 Casey is there like “lsp…vscode, I don’t give a flying fuck” lmao

The combination of casey and trash is gold

I fucking love this group chat series

This podcast is genuinely one of my favourite things to watch on YouTube

Trash getting called out for eating with his mic on. Just like a real standup.
