After the Red Hat mess I see many people saying IBM destroys everything they touch, but I can’t think of many examples of it. Can you tell me what else IBM has destroyed after acquiring it, or something good that they themselves developed and then ruined it with stupid corporate choices?
Have you ever used this thing called “Lotus Notes” before?
Oh dear God.
Sametime is equally horrendous.
That’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…
Back when emojis were novel in the corporate environment, I always questioned who at IBM decided a sheep emoji was a valuable addition. I mean, I used it in messages, but probably not in the way IBM intended…
Triggered!
Former Domino admin here. My last certification was for Notes/Domino 5, so it’s been a while.
Yeah, it sucked on the back end too. There were a few good things about it, but there are a lot reasons why Notes/Domino lost to Exchange, SQL Server, and Oracle. Mainly that those other products sucked less.
I worked with someone who moved their entire workload into notes, email, spreadsheets, browsing, embedded sametime, you name it he used notes for it.
My first job out of college was as a Lotus Notes app developer. Security was such a farce that I ran software deployments to our app users in the same way that really crafty malware infections propagate through email. Nice feature, IBM.
