Microsoft's Acquisition Hunger Games

microsoft-memes, acquisitions-memes, corporate-memes, github-memes, activision-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Microsoft's corporate strategy in a nutshell: "Haven't bought anything in a few months? Time to assimilate another company!" The meme perfectly captures Microsoft's notorious habit of solving boredom by acquiring everything in sight. From GitHub to LinkedIn to Activision Blizzard, their boardroom meetings must have a big red "ACQUIRE" button that executives slam whenever quarterly profits look too predictable. The alien overlord commanding "Begin the acquisition process" is basically Satya Nadella after his morning coffee, scanning the tech landscape for the next victim—I mean, "strategic partnership opportunity."

The Excel Database Conspiracy

The horrifying truth finally revealed! Let's be honest, we've all seen that one company running their entire operation off a glorified spreadsheet. Some PM probably said "it's just temporary" back in 2003, and now it's load-bearing infrastructure. The worst part? Those Excel "databases" are still out there... evolving... multiplying. That one Karen in accounting is probably managing $50M in assets using VLOOKUP and a prayer. The astronaut with the gun knows what's up - sometimes the only solution to legacy spreadsheet hell is a clean reboot.

Content 1 Git 2.35.1.2 Setup Choosing the default editor used by Git Which editor would you like Git to use? (the ubiquitous text editor) as Git's default editor The Vim editor, while powerful, can be hard to use. Its user interface is unintuitive and its key bindings are awkward. Note: Vim is the default editor of Git for Windows only for historical reasons, it is highly recommended to switch to a modern GUI editor instead. Note: This will leave the 'core editor' option unset, which will make Git fall to the 'EDITOR' environmenwariable. The default editor is Vim - but yo may set it to some other editor of your choice. https:gitforwindows Back Next Cancel
