What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?

    Skype and Lync had a baby called Teams.

    And that baby should have been aborted

    Your not wrong. But hot take: it's better than slack.

    Better for video, maybe. Better for chat, never!

    And as Teams continue to downgrade it's markdown support, it is becoming less and less appealing. I hate that I can't add language tags to code block with the triple back ticks, but it turns some of my code snippets to emojis. What the fuck man?

    It's a tad more complicated:

    • Skype is still Skype
    • but Skype Enterprise is just a skin strapped over the og Lync (which sucks an order of magnitude more that a black hole)
    • Team is a new product developped from scratch.
    • Team is an overhaul of sharepoint, I stand corrected.

    It seems to still be around. I used to use it all the time back in the 2010-2015 period but as soon as Discord came out I switched to that and tried to get everyone I knew to also switch.
