Sunday Thoughts

I have mostly recovered from the wrath of Mother Nature. Now I am in the phase where you get used to everything being slightly different from what you had before the crash. For example, Microsoft Office is different from before for some reason. It is stuck in night mode, which is fine and I will get used to it, but for now it looks weird. The window size defaults to something like letterbox, which I cannot figure out how to fix, but maybe I just get used to it.

It is in these times when you see that most software development is just for show. Armies of Indians slave away changing the look and feel of Word, but the important stuff never changes as there is no reason to change it. We figured out word processing a long time ago. Instead, the development team spends their days finding ways to hide essential features from users. Much of what gets done at Microsoft is nothing more than busy work now.

It is not just the goliaths. I use Audacity for editing the show. Of course, I had to download the latest version and they rearranged the interface for no reason. Some buttons have been moved, while others are now gone entirely. That function is somewhere else, maybe a menu item. Of course, the menus have been reorganized to make sure you can no longer find anything. Is the product better? No, it is just different because today, different is assumed to be better.
