I spent most of my time trying to trick it into doing what I wanted, it was a constant cat-and-mouse game. Kinda fun if it wasn’t so miserable. Had to gtfo after a couple years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) My previous job finally got off of lotus notes in 2019. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago My first text job was at a fortune 500 that used Lotus Notes. I think they transitioned off in 2014 or 2015. What a weird software. They had some whole processes that happened in Notes that were like mini applications and databases. permalink fedilink source parent [–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago You gotta respect those early adopters, the trendsetters, the pioneers. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dhorse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I left a job when the previous notes admin left and they tried to get me to run that hot garbage with no training and no bump in pay. permalink fedilink source parent [–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago Oh hell yes, that's a piece of garbage. permalink fedilink source parent
