I too would be wary of anyone working at Microsoft (or Oracle, or Salesforce, or SoftTech, or Tata or a bank).

I had to use Teams for a hybrid conference. I used a Black Magic ATEM as my capture and the team's camera kept crashing. Checked every setting imaginable. Yet when I used OBS Virtual Camera as my video source and used the ATEM through OBS there wasn't a problem.
Better him than whatever sewer dweller is responsible for Amazon chime.
tbf though, which other Microsoft project could he have said that would not have gotten himself kicked out?
C# is a decent language. I'll stick with Java because the api ecosystem is so vast.
Flight Simulator maybe. Age of Empires.. not sure how much they are tied into that anymore though
Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?
Mouse without borders is pretty rad
Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.
Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It's not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.
What is it people don't like about Teams? It's mostly about integration with SharePoint
Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy). /also a developer
The job market is pretty shit for a world that supposedly needs developers everywhere.
We need them badly, just not enough to pay not shit wages
Not in Europe - for now. Will be different of course if fascist America murders us all over here. Or Putler. Doesn't make much of a difference in the end...
Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
When I used to install collaboration systems, the main thing clients would tell me why they chose say a Logitech Rally with MS Teams over Cisco and WebEx was it's cheaper. With that said you can setup a Cisco Room Kit with Teams integration.
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions
Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.

Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.
What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.
We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.
I've used Teams, Zoom, Google Meet. Teams is the worst.

What else could he say to not be thrown out? Dude works at Microsoft
"I worked on Space Cadet."
Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?
Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.
“I killed Clippy”?
Written by someone who has no idea how software gets made.
Teams or the meme?
Lol. Yes.
Bloated piece of shit. Can we just use Matrix?
