  • Same people who’s maintaining it today. We need to look up business hours anyway on top of looking up time zones. E.g. business hours in Denmark is usually 8-16 while in UK it is usually 9-17. Here there’s furthermore differences at the usual company. IMO you’re inconsiderate if you start planning meetings without taking the business hours of the recipients into account (which means all our UK enployess are inconsiderate jerks on this topic, calling me in for meetings until 18:00…)

    So instead of looking up the time zone difference and the cultural business hours of a company in Australia, I can just see that they open after my lunch.



  • I get it. I’ve just been through a merger and the new head software delivery has plans on rewriting everything in their tech stack. He is in for an absolute fucking ride when he realises that such a rewrite will not take a year but 5 to 10 and will incapacitate our department for the entire time. In a rapidly evolving market. It is 3 decades of continuous and rapid feature expansions he’s trying to unroll.

    It’s not FOSS though, so I’m not as invested in it, I’m just here to see him either fail utterly or get kicked due to his cognitive dissonance that’ll cost our department in the tens or hundreds of millions.
