| schestowitz[TR2] | if IBM wanted to fix anything they would fire Joanne the Walrus and her F&O leaders (including CIO) who are nothing but a bunch of whiny A$$ ki$$ers. They are a total waste of time and will continue to go nowhere....while collecting big paychecks for sitting around. And someone should get rid of their leader Krabanaugh too - how many badges did he earn this year and what did he get upskilled in ? Eating more unhealthy burgers and f | May 08 03:30 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Richard Stallman didn’t just challenge software companies he challenged the entire philosophy of ownership in technology. 💻 | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | At a time when software was becoming private and locked behind corporate control, Stallman introduced a radical idea called “Copyleft.” | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Instead of restricting access, Copyleft allowed anyone to use, modify, and improve software as long as it stayed open for everyone else too. | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This idea became the foundation of the open-source movement, powering technologies that shape the modern internet today, including Linux servers and Android systems. | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The biggest innovation wasn’t just code. | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It was collaboration at a global scale. | May 08 06:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sometimes the strongest systems are not built by protecting ideas… but by allowing millions of people to improve them together." | May 08 06:26 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @e0 yep thanks. The product seems pathetic. The cheerleading pathetic. I idea that someone with an ounce of technical chops would use something (I cannot call it a produtc) called "Bob" is pathetic. Worst of all, my eyes are going to pop out of my head if I see that pathetic and stupid AI generated plastic icon known as Bob doll. | May 08 06:29 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @cq lol - "next release". That was always the standard response to fixing these terrible products - the next release is going to ki-l it! Another hype cycle. | May 08 15:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So how would you even know if AskIBM was "better"? Your NPS is -50 but Matt Loathsome doesn't like metrics that make him look bad so let's pretend that isn't the worst score ever. Maybe require everyone to do 10% more AI and then report that 10% up tick in output as "success"? | May 08 15:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The problem isn't just the tech - you have the wrong people working on it. They think every problem can be solved with better tech and for those that can't, best to ignore those. The days of research, reflect and fix are over when you can just pretend that a future release will magically fix the problems everyone is ignoring. "Trust me bro!" | May 08 15:35 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | AskIBM has an upcoming refresh that’s a lot better. AskIT has hardly anybody working on it because, of course, the team got repeatedly cut.
