Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Interested in learning about one aspect of #Enshittification? Here's a 25-part thread explaining part of it using a recent experience of mine scheduling a delivery. 021
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The delivery of my order is just a very small example of how this cascades down into the everyday woes of people. On the opposite end of this spectrum are the massive data-breaches resulting in identity theft and loss of money as a result of rushed-job software. This is #Enshittification. (25/25) 000
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026In the end, these money-grubbing decision-makers nearly ALWAYS put their profit above their customer's safety. They don't care if they put out buggy products. Coders are stuck between a rock and a hard-place. And, in the end, the systems we all rely upon are just getting worse. (24/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026That's what I wrote (slightly edited to fit into the character limits here on Blusky). I meant it. You want to know where these big data breaches come from? Most of the time it's due to patchwork code resulting from irrational demands made by the C-suite execs who cut corners. (23/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"So, the long-winded answer is to let you know that you've got a bad system in place or poor users of it. I will be hesitant to shop with you again solely due to that." (22/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I've worked for vanishingly few companies who support coding the right way. Not even Microsoft or Adobe have a good system in place. (I'll happily admit that the electronics company LG allows for proper time estimates and security coding ... I always buy technology from them!)" (21/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Hence, my decision to never install any app on my phone other than those that are absolutely necessary (VPN, security apps, etc...). And I never trust that my data will be safe in the hands of a company who collects or purchases it." (20/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Most are skilled networkers and coders but they exploit weaknesses in the code that are left there by rush-jobs caused by upper management not wanting to spend the money and time on doing the job right, the first time." (19/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I do not install apps on my phone for this very reason. I know that the security of these apps and on the servers that hold their data is subject to the very same process as I described above. People are of the opinion that hackers who cause data breaches must be geniuses. This isn't true." (18/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Whatever third-party coded your systems ... either they didn't do a good enough job in the code or they didn't go a good enough job teaching your staff how to use it. Maybe both." (17/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"It forces coders to cut corners, work long and frantic hours resulting in mistakes, and prevents documentation for users to actually USE the code that's been written." (16/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"This is usually because management forces coders to work on compressed time-tables while ignoring time estimates that coders originally provide. I've suffered through this myself." (15/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I have worked in Web Development for 32 years. I have coded back-end delivery and inventory systems for a living. I have developed user interfaces and customer outreach tools. Either your office staff do not know how to use them or they simply are not very well coded." (14/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026(And this was where I got on my soapbox. I know why this stuff tends to happen. In my professional eCommerce experiences over the past 30+ years, I've seen quite a bit in the way of inventory and fulfillment systems that companies use.) (13/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"The delivery scheduling process was that bad. This is why I am leaving a "6". In-Store Purchasing: 10 1st Delivery Scheduling & Delivery: 10 2nd Delivery Scheduling: 0 2nd Delivery (when it finally happened): 10" (12/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"It was frustrating and aggravating. I wasn't even offered any sort of recompense ... not that it would have helped. Even though the in-store service was peak (low-pressure, knowledgeable, & helpful) and the deliveries quick and professional, I'm not sure if I'd shop with you again." (11/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"So, the delivery guys were great! They did an excellent job! I give them a 10+. But the process, confusing texts, use of an automated scheduler that couldn't answer human questions, the loss of use for my living room for several days: these would rate a 0." (10/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I got a call later from one of your reps saying that they couldn't get me in on Wednesday and it would NOW arrive on Saturday ... a day LATER than what I'd been told earlier that day! We had already gotten rid of the old furniture. There was nowhere to sit but the one recliner." (9/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I was told that they had neglected to inform me. They also said that they would do their best to see if they could get me in for the next day, Wednesday, rather than the new time of Friday. I said "Okay" and left it at that." (8/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I cleared my schedule to be at home and made plans for later in that week. But I still didn't know what the time window was. On the phone, when attempting to find out what time the delivery would arrive, I was informed that it was NOT coming and was delayed." (7/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"That was good enough for me. I got about 4 or 5 subsequent texts about my order being ready but, having already confirmed with you that my first date was already set up, I ignored these. The day of delivery ticked closer." (6/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"It also said "your items are ready to ship" and asked me to respond to set up delivery. I was confused since I'd already done this. I responded, asking what this was about and whether or not I had scheduled things at all. It assured me I had by repeating the date that I'd set up with it." (5/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I eventually got the second text for the last part of my order -a loveseat and a sofa- within the timeframe it had been promised. I answered it and went through the process with your automated system over text. I set up a delivery date. About a week later, I got another text." (4/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"However, even though I got the first text message from you about my split delivery (the one involving my recliner), just fine, the text messages that followed were confusing and seemingly haphazard." (3/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"The delivery experience was fantastic; simply brilliant! But... The scheduling of it was a nightmare. Your delivery guys were professional, friendly, skilled, and prompt! They deserve a raise!" (2/?) 100
Sylvan Scott @sylvanscott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I finally ordered furniture with money I'd saved up since long before I lost my job. I bought from a discount furniture place in Roseville. They asked me to fill out a survey after everything was done. And everything except scheduling was a 10. Scheduling was a 0. Here's what I wrote: (1/?) 111
