If there’s a moral that you can glean from the life and death of Mr. Hands it’s that that everyone who works at Boeing is that fucked up.

i know most of the debate about software revolves around pointing to the jangling keys in awe or the arm that's holding them in disgust but the future where something like jira, workflow tools, is easier than a spreadsheet, isn't going to be the one where people can overrule the computer
1141
tef @tef.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
if there is just one problem with jira, it's that it is software that makes one person's job easier by making everyone else's job a bit more frustrating see also, jira is usually configured through regret, with what the pm wished the last project needed, rather than what the current project needs

tef @tef.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
it's one thing to suggest that software gives _a_ user agency over a computer but it's foolish to think that it gives _all_ users agency i've heard people complain about spreadsheets a bit but never as much as they complain about internal corp tooling
1180
tef @tef.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
aside, i've been thinking about how spreadsheets and jira both have "it's programmable/configurable" but ultimately one of them gives the end user agency (they can change the spreadsheet) and the other denies it (the columns have been locked by your line manager and cells must be edited in this way)
