IT deploying the shit hole GlobalProtect instead of a βrealβ macOS .mobileconfig that can run as an actual service and be on 24/7. Also IT not black holing IPv6 on the VPN (since they donβt want to support it) causing all the traffic to leak outside the tunnel.
β¦at a software development company.
For real?

- People get lost in navigation menus (web or otherwise) and relaunching the browser or app.
- People who use Caps Lock for one letter(psychos).
- People who know refuse to use virtual desktops/workspaces/tags when they have more than 5 windows open.
- People who refuse to learn common keybind shortcuts like open, cut, paste, close window, open tab and print. This one triggers me when I use a shortcut to help someone and they say I'm in the wrong menu....
People who use Caps Lock for one letter
Speed Typing King Sean Wrona on Not Using Shift Key
Sean Wrona who currently holds a bunch of speed typing records uses it to type all capital letters. Instead of hitting Shift+letter he finds it is more efficient to hit CapsLock+letter+CapsLock in quick succession.
Must not use a mac. On mac keyboards there's a small delay on the caps lock key where if you're intentionally hitting it it will turn on, but if you unintentionally bump it hitting A or something it typically wont. I'm quick enough that sometimes I'll it won't engage.
To have a title such as Speed Typing King sound like a psycho /s
A tangent, so that explains one of the colemak mods having the caps lock as a layer key and shift as the caps lock, but it'll revert to lower case after a letter.
Wow, I would have never thought of that
To be fair, I'll use the more convenient shortcuts (cut/copy/paste, select all, save) that are genuinely easier to do with one hand. But Alt+F4? It either requires two hands or else your hand needs to qualify for Cirque de Soleil to hit it properly. Some of the "standard" keybinds are often more trouble than moving the pointer.
cmd+Q on macOS is great.

When people who press caps lock to capitalize a single letter, like at the start of a sentence.
Yeah, people doing that is my fault.
My bad.
