Someone else in another thread I read recently, I think they worked for Microsoft at some point, said that it’s due for different departments all competing for corporate attention. Doing the big new thing to keep their job. Rather than just fine tuning for performance or longevity. Something like that.

Burns the ding dong

Urgh one of my coworkers (technically client, but work closely alongside) clearly uses it for every single email he sends, and it’s nauseating. He’s crass and very poorly spoken in person, yet overnight all his email correspondence is suddenly robotic and unnecessarily flowery. I use it regularly myself, for fast building of Excel formulas and so forth, but please, don’t dump every email into it.

Thanks, was like holy shit I better read up about that neoplasm thing!
