So I tied a Tamagotchi to my belt, which was the style at the time

Are you a tech enthusiast who also kind-of hates current tech trends? This community is a place to share your gripes with modern technologies, tech-bro culture, "AI the everything", etc.

Tech-rant memes, articles, or just rant/horror stories: all are welcome.

God I hate software vendors. Does anyone else have to spend a crazy amount of time toning down emails to them from "Reasons you suck" speeches to actual productive emails? (dubvee.org)

And if you're assuming the software vendor I'm dealing with was the lowest bidder, you are correct.

Here's the thing, people who suck at what they do are usually either

A. Stupid

B. Overworked

C. Under-qualified

D. Under-compensated

It doesn't matter which one(s) of those apply to them, your interactions with them should be adjusted the same regardless of why they suck. Limit all emails, all requests, and all questions to one topic only. Don't try to get answers to 3 different things because it's not going to happen. Address one subject, and only move onto the next after you have resolved that subject. Trying to do anything else is an exercise in futility.
