I think, it is a trust issue, the lack of trust in the own workforce.

So, it easier to let the administration be done by a different company that can be held liable if something goes south. Mostly these are those consulting firms that make money with O365 integration (intune and the like). In the end, they earn only money with consulting and the risk is still with the client.

CEOs are connected with other CEOs and managers which already implemented the O365 BS and so they follow by example. They don’t see that they gain nothing, only some grumpy devs that are forced to work with Windows. And you need an internal Windows admin anyway as a fulltime position which needs to be educated to use M$ tools which costs even more money gladly taken by the same consulting firms.

And what strikes me, this M$ Intune Gedöns can handle Ununtu Linux desktops, but devs are not allowed to use it on the desktop to increase productivity. The irony: The product they are developing is running on Linux servers.

I had to get this out of my system, sorry.

I tried a full desktop env (XFCE) in WSL, it is sooo laggy.

Sadly, a true story. I asked 2 days ago. The answer was no, because they want to standardize the work environment. /:

VSCode has theme support; there are light themes, that are not so bright and dark themes that aren’t that dark.

I prefer a very dark gray, a very good font (Iosevka, tuned to my needs) and an appropiate font size (because wearing glasses).

I hope, I never get this senior title. It is complete BS to me. And I am glad, that my junior status is gone for good and I have a job title that does not try to tell something about my expierience!

What about time on a different planet? What would be a common time"zone" for Mars and Earth?

But sometimes Copilot just uses too much words to present the answer, so I use ChatGPT which can be personalized.

(Maybe it is possible with Copilot, too, maybe I have to ask how to do it)

I salute you.

But which version?

While this is very funny, I think with PHP you can achieve error traces like in Java, nowadays. And no, I am (not) a senior PHP developer. ^^

Edit: I used PHP-4 ages ago and now I am relearning >=PHP-8. Not sure whether junior or senior.

I used Inkscape a lot on PDFs with forms and broken layout. The beauty of it, you can fix other problems, too, use your own font or change the font of existing text. (:

I work 36 hours, so Friday is only until lunch. So far, it was always possible to start the weekend directly after the lunch break. (:
