One of the biggest reasons now that I think I may stay as a freelancer and not job hunt is that I don't want to be forced to use some "productivity" suite like #google #docs or #microsoft #office365 or #teams everyday.

Having to use one of those now for a short-term project with a client and its so annoying and very, very unproductive.

Also wonder - how come I can setup flexible, self-hosted secure systems for my own data, but a org with 30+ staff and multiple ops people can't?

@ncoca Outsourced responsibility. From Microsoft to CrowdStrike etc, corporations pay pay pay so that if/when anything goes wrong, they can LEGALLY say "it's not my fault".

People will happily watch the world burn as long as they can tell themselves it's not their fault.

@jkn What makes it more sad or disappointing is that most of my clients are non-profits/NGOs.

That they, of all orgs, can't quit #bigtech really says something about the state of technology these days.
