Yeah I make software that makes people feel something - rage - there are 2 types of software one that no one cares about and software that people use and voice their opinions about :)

I was looking for this comment. For example Microsoft Teams and Office 365 make me feel something, but it’s not joy.

I feel bad for the poor souls that are forced to work on software like that. It surely can't be fun

They might be sadists having the time of their lives. There are few better opportunities in life to get away consequence free with causing pain to a huge amount of people, than working on Microsoft Teams. Not only get away with it consequence free; they're even getting paid for it!

I have not met a single softie who defended the decision to make ctrl shift c the shortcut to start a call in a group chat when ctrl shift v is paste unformatted.

Especially given that the teams client doesn't allow disabling or editing keyboard shortcut.

Microsoft employees may be lazy but unlike Facebook employees (I refuse to call it meta), I don't think they are evil.
