I’m actually really curious to know how ‘pain points’ are a thing in IT
Someone touched a live wire?
Maybe the deep existential pain that comes from the computer installing updates right in the middle of an unsaved important task or presentation 🤔
it's a stupid bloody phrase that basically means "IT are gonna be really MEAN to make this actually adhere to good practises and we corporate snots don't like that"
Motherfuckers. They're issues. This article is a good example, I'm not sure if you work IT, but as someone who's been doing it for nearly 30 years I am chewing my own tongue in rage at the suit-speak.
Interesting article - I see what you mean. Am also now feeling tempted to see if I can insert ‘ladder up’ into a (non-IT) based work discussion, haha
I saw "insert ladder" and that was it. my brain is filthy.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face saying it IRL
I think it applies broadly to any corpo project management. Translation from my perspective is: issues that need to be solved.
Ah! TIL, thanks.
It’s definitely what the IT person at my work suffers, from all the dumb questions lol
End users are definitely pain points lol
we LIKE dumb questions. they indicate a desire to learn.
It's the dumb actions and dunning-kruger proclamations we can't stand.
