I'm convinced it's the whole B-2-B software world at this point. The shit starts at MS (or any of the FAANGS) and rolls downhill to everyone else.
We're working on a huge Dynamics 365 thing at work, and one of the third parties we use for automated testing is just.... the product seems barebones, is clearly built on top of open source automated testing tool, and is riddled with indicators that barely anyone works there, from the AI help bot to the "submit a ticket and we'll assign it eventually" approach to all other interactions.
I looked them up on Linked In and 12 people work there. 8 of them have C-suite or VP titles, and 4 of them are interns from a local university. This is the state of all modern tech: a board room full of investors, a website, and a product barely glued together from FOSS parts by interns. If you wonder why everything feels like a scam now it's because it is.
Name and shame!
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out it’s Atlassian/JIRA
Found the guy who created the FFMpeg ticket on LinkedIn. Job title: "Principal software engineer", saying they are "A detailed, analytical Software Engineer with Eighteen years of experience". 18 years?! Fuck me dead...
So I had two interviews at a Dynamics 365 partner, until they ended up restructuring internally and said they'd "get in contact if they have need for new devs"... Then later I interviewed at an Odoo partner, got the job and ya know what? I'm glad I didn't get the Dynamics 365 partner job. Not only is our core product FOSS, it actually feels pretty nice as an end user too.
You probably can't change things at your job, which sucks, but anyone looking at ERP solutions should probably consider Odoo as an option.
