Cheap Tools Cheap Results

TRP is the only place I’ve worked where used a VDI; all other jobs provided a dedicated developer laptop. The VDI crashes all the time while I'm working. Honestly, how can you expect good results when the tools you’re given to build them are so unreliable?

@ha Don't forget buildings 5 & 6, seems like it took longer to build them than they were actually occupied, and now they'll be torn down.

For an investment firm, we're surprisingly bad at investing in our own infrastructure. The new office is a perfect example. We keep pouring money into useless vendors and garbage, racking up expenses on things we don't need. The leadership team's competence is just pathetic.

Ha! We get Mac Pros, iPads and Windows laptops in my country. And I’m not even in the developer side of Tech.

Also as an aside, what kind of company hires people to essentially beat down on disgruntled workers. The view of the company is essentially: our workers are really unhappy, we need them to quit, let's annoy them in online forums so they quit faster

Using my actual computer after being in the VDI all day makes me feel like I’ve stepped into the future with how fast everything is
