The Square CEO said issues with the current monetary system distract 'from the bigger problems.’ You may say he's a dreamer...but yeah, he's a dreamer

An idiot, as usual. The current monetary system is the cause or facilitator of many of the bigger problems.

Cloud computing giant Salesforce has completed its acquisition of Slack, a $27.7 billion dollar deal that adds the messaging app to its suite of enterprise software without immediately changing Slack’s functionality, branding, or leadership. Happy news for slackers everywhere?
Posting as the merger may be of interest to some people that aren't me.
|
|
|
|
|
Ugh. In my experience, while SalesForce is actually a pretty cool product, it is at the same time a nightmare to configure for anything custom, and searching on how to do something results in dozens of obsolete documentation pages - a very frustrating experience.
That said, maybe we need a new Slack, one with the guarantee to never be sold to the corporate beast that will then **** it up. Just wait and see.
|
|

I think you're the first person I've encountered that has experienced SalesForce. Surprising, as it's supposed to be quite a popular product.
But yeah, it's hard to be a niche player these days. It almost seems like getting scooped up is the planned exit strategy.

With the amounts that they usually pay... I would not bet on the "not to be sold"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I refuse to use any software owned by Salesforce, but I can't say why due to CP's "no politics" rule.
Their latest transgression can be found by googling "project veritas salesforce".

While open source is here to stay, many companies grapple with how to best enable their employees to use open source safely, provide secure solutions to customers, and effectively contribute to open source software. Just post all the source for your company's product on your blog. What's the worst that will happen?

You'll be fired and sued for revealing that your company's software is as shite as anyone else's and for compromising their "intellectual property", as if anyone would want it.

In a survey of tech industry workers, about 50% of respondents said they are very or somewhat interested in joining a union in their workplace, and more than 60% of millennials said they were interested. However, most of them just thought it was someone asking them out on a date
I mean: they asked 750 people, so this *must* be accurate, right?

These were all SQL developers. Joining and Unions is their life.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw:
