On a 4k monitor you can still only get about 80 characters of monospaced font per line, because of the "negative space" fetish UX designers have.
Something dead simple like posting a stack trace, and then having someone able to, you know, read it... It's just not something teams really does well.
I can understand how the tooling probably does a ton of stuff that corporate users want (integrating with calendars, tons of access controls for spaces for important people to talk, etc) but for a dev working primarily with a handful of other devs and qas, there is a feature set mismatch. I can't begin to tell you how badly I don't give a shit about 99% of its features.
How long has it been since you used Teams? I'm no apologist, I have plenty of gripes with that piece of crap software, but this seems like a crazy stretch. Teams makes it almost trivial to embed code blocks with syntax highlighting for a wide array of languages, which can be easily copied out of Teams or opened in a separate viewer for easier reading.

Maybe we're using an old version or something, but code blocks still don't expand horizontally to fill the available space, so we just get a horizontal slider bar.
or opened in a separate viewer for easier reading.
Yes, that's my beef. If I need to juggle content to external text editors to read them, then IMO it has failed the categorical imperative of the tool.
Edit:
Back to work Monday morning:
Collapse all side bars, you get 89 monospaced characters. Approximately 2/3 of the horizontal screen space is reserved for empty space.

AI can be useful. Don't shit on it in a generalist statement...
They weren’t making a generalist statement. They were complaining about management insisting on slapping AI everywhere.

I'm convinced that Jira is difficult on purpose to sell more consultancy and gold partnerships and trainers
No consultancy can ever make Jira fast. It’s incredible that it takes several seconds just to open a motherfucking goddamn issue.
I swear all their SQL is

Not having to use agile work methods should be another
There's an appropriate time and place for any methodology. There's never an appropriate time or place for Teams or Jira.

GitHub tickets are fine.
Jira is complicated because PMs want it to do everything. It can, but there's no good reason for it.
The only thing GitHub can’t to is structure tickets. It would be nice to link issues together other than by referencing them.

Except worse: Confluence tries insanely hard to prevent anyone actually getting at the document source code. So you are expected to use the godawful interactive web editor to make any changes.
Clearly you've not had to use the home grown documentation methods.

Do you really use Teams? If you do, you should not be able to say that
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I used it briefly when it first came out; otherwise no, my employers have used Slack.

I actually like the flexibility, but Teams is installed in a work profile that I created. This way I can turn it off when the work day is over. Very useful!
You know you can have that flexibility with a work phone, right? Without them monitoring, and controlling your device?
-
Saying the Mac implementation is bad when 99% of the apps ported from iOS to Windows are an unoptimized clunky mess is hypocritical as fuck.
How am I responsible for iOS to Windows ports?

Food, shelter, water psychological needs? I mean everything is a psychological need by those terms
(I think they're exaggerating to emphasise how bad other things are for comedic effect.)

Confluence is implied as being part of the lower parts of the pyramid yeah?
God, confluence is so fukcing dogshit.
I wish it wasn't. Ideally having a central knowledge base for your project with all sorts of features sounds amazing.
Then you get confluence, where loading a si gle page somehow takes 7 seconds, and your documentation is split among dozens of pages each if which take equally as long or longer to load.
Folders take like 3-4 seconds to unfold and reveal what documents are inside.
It's such a piece of shit

Still works for me, are you sure?
Yes.
It works for some of my colleagues & doesn't work for some others. You can also find bug reports in Microsofts trackers - they just don't care.

How are they monitoring and controlling my device when they don't have MDM access to it? Again, I created the work profile myself. All my company IT could have access to are the Microsoft apps I've installed in the work profile which is separated & turned off when I don't need it.
If I have a second phone, I need to keep it charged, remember to take it with me, and to turn it off after work. With everything integrated into my private phone it's much easier for me.

How am I responsible for iOS to Windows ports?
You're not responsible for anything. I'm just saying if you only require that Windows makes its apps compatible with iOS and smooth, you should require the same from Apple with regards to Windows. It's a two-way street.

next time my job asks me to install teams on my phone, I'm gonna hand them a list of rental costs for access to my phone/internet and to cover any security related issues.
What is the issue if you have it all under your work account and your IT team uses something like Meraki? Im also not at all worried about my work being malicious on my phone, it's not a huge corporation. But I don't see much issue there.

I've never understood the hatred for Teams. I don't particularly like Slack, and Teams (from my limited experience using it) doesn't seem that much worse.

the emojis would be fine, if they used standard naming schemes like everyone else does...but for some ungodly reason they don't adhere to standard nomenclature, so good fuckin luck finding the one you're looking for!
also: WHY is the shortcut for emojis a fucking parenthesis??? why isn't it a colon like in damn near every other app???
this is the worst thing about teams:
it forces you to re-learn chat app standards that have been in place for well over a decade, and it does so for abso-fucking-lutely no good reason!
and it does so for abso-fucking-lutely no good reason!
Vendor lock-in. The next generation will demand teams because they cannot get used to other shortcuts.

I would prefer Jira over ServiceNow, my previous job had jira and it ran smooth, ServiceNow is just a clunky mess
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I was a vocal hater of Jira till I switched to a company that rolled their own ticketing system. Now I love Jira.

Jira is the worst project manager software, except for all the others - Churchill
Having used quite a few others: hard disagree
Several companies I've worked at had bespoke internal systems that were less general but extremely efficient to use.
It kills me to think some bean counters probably gutted them and gave the money to Atlassian
