- 12Why is enterprise work software so frustrating to use?Enterprise platforms like Salesforce and mandatory internal AI tools are so slow and poorly designed that employees are abandoning them for physical planners. Instead of helping daily operations, these bloated systems add friction and useless metrics that stall actual work.
- 3Why can't I stop coding with AI at night?Fast AI-assisted coding acts like a continuous slot machine, pulling engineers into spending hours on evening vibe-coding sessions in hopes of a jackpot of working code. This makes it nearly impossible to disconnect at the end of the workday.
- 3Why can't I send emails from a custom domain in Gmail anymore?Email providers are dropping support for free external SMTP services, which forces users to abandon their unified inboxes. To keep sending mail from a non-Gmail domain, you are pushed into paying for Google Workspace, destroying your integrated workflow and trapping you in an overcrowded, disjointed platform.
