And no, I will not tell you what my company app is.

I hope that’s a power user app, right? RIGHT!?!

Yay, options.
I’m sure if this weren’t black and white it’d be some green on black z/OS goodness.
Wrong, the google product is dead
And the Apple product would probable say “gloat about me to your friends”
And it was one they bought, just to kill it… Google: the sadist of the tech world.
Google and apple already know who you are, the company at the bottom doesn’t
Lol, that’s a fun angle. They don’t need all those fields coz they just get your information the other way
Whoever made this has never used Google Cloud Platform.
- Those apps are simple
- Those apps target a wide audience, hence have more budget as a result
- Those apps are made by large, well oiled (you’d hope at least) companies. You don’t want my honest opinion on most small software development boxes. This industry grew faster than mentors became available for the newbies, so many devs including seniors still don’t know what they are doing.
So so incredibly true. I provide Admin support for folks that want to publish apps with Apple and let me tell you, it’s the wild fuckin west out there and I’m not even talking about the coding part which I’m sure is a hellscape if my side of things is anything to go by.
Mom and pop got an app idea for passive income so they just hire a company to publish it for then, usually from India, with devs who can’t put two and two together because they work for assholes that want apps pumped out asap. They don’t want critical thinkers, they don’t want knowledgeable employees, what they want are tons of employees they can take advantage of as cheaply as possible that can do a good enough job to stay afloat and make them money. These guys know basic code and nothing else nor do they seem to want to know how to actually manage a development team, they seem like they are under a lot of pressure. I personally don’t actually code or know how to code outside of basic HTML Myspace bullshit but I do know how to get shit published and I know how to get the apps ready for publishing. I know these things because our guides are massive and massively detailed with screenshots to help you out and yet I’m busier than ever. 90% of my job outside of the admin and fraud prevention work I have to do is sitting on the phone reading instructions word for word or copying and pasting it from the guides for people who should be able to understand the content, but they don’t.
Imo as someone that’s been doing this for 5 years now, it’s a bubble and she’s ready to burst. It’ll be another .com crash that we’ll all pretend we didn’t see coming.
Gave me flashbacks to my time working with Philips’ Tasy system in 2017.
By now they’ve surely finished implementing their HTML5 system which was somewhat better, but back then it was still a desktop app made using Delphi and Java, and it was basically as unsightly and unwieldy as the example in the meme lol
You forgot the ads on google
Is this post brought to us by a Service Now developer?
Oh no, my company is going to integrate with Service Now! Should I be scared?
Depends did they hire 2 developers in house to babysit the application after rollout?
Haha, hire developers? No, no, no. Doesn’t off-the-shelf software just work? /s
Only if the price tag is big enough and the AI and copilot modules cost the same amount again per year.
Isn’t Service Now just help desk software? A ticketing system? I only know it from the user side, but it looks basic. What makes it shitty?
A lot depends on the implementation and how well the devs that worked on your instance did their job. Some stuff they built into ours works great and I appreciate those things. A lot of it is really half assed, inconsistent with other parts, and people who process things are nitpicky as fuck about actually doing it if you didn’t submit it just right (and they didn’t bother to validate inputs to make sure you do). Overall it’s slow and bloated AF when I’m trying to run reports which is mostly what I use it for.
Nope…we have 4. Fucking Service Now.
4 so far right?
You shouldn’t waste time being scared. Look for a new job now.
My condolences. ServiceNow is straight from hell. It’s ridiculously overcomplicated and the layout makes no sense and changes by the time you get used to its shittyness.
It will take literal months to get basic functionality implemented and it will never be pleasant to work with.
Fuck ServiceNow.
Also SAP can go fuck itself for the same reasons.

Thanks although I have no control over what systems my employer chooses. I’m stuck with their crappy decisions.
Every few months the layout gets reshuffled as well for no fucking reason.
If your company is implementing an app that is basically a toggle switch or power button, it’ll probably look like the first one. If your company is implementing an internal search engine, it’ll probably look like the second one. If anybody is implementing a data entry system meant to be used by trained individuals at a workstation, its gonna look like option three. You might as well complain about a CNC mill being more complicated than a screwdriver, they’re different tools.
That third screenshot, assuming good keyboard navigation, would likely be a godsend for anyone actually using it every day for regular data entry (well, okay, not without fixes–e.g. the SSN and telephone number split apart as separate text boxes is terrible).
This same mindset is what led Tesla to replace all their driver friendly indicators and controls with a giant shiny touchscreen that is an unmitigated disaster for actual usability.
Ngl I prefer said company app rather than “new” stuff which runs on Electron and breaks just from looking at it
Fuuuuuuuuck Electron
Your company’s app is SAP
Haha, no, cause then I’d be paid more.
Looks like Syteline to me lol.
