  • It’s true but it’s a tooling issue before anything. I had an interview with a web radio a year or so ago. It required google hangout. Never used this before. I tried it, it said “not supported on your system”. The guy told me “you have to upgrade your browser”. I replaced my browser (firefox), I lost support for the sound as firefox developers decided that LTS distros probably all use pulseaudio by now (mistake on their side, but it was not exactly the best moment to try to recompile firefox). I tried to install chrome, library dependencies issues. Finally I managed to get it to work with a slightly outdated chromium version! The fun thing is that another guy interviewed at the same time had comparable issues with a very recent distro, where chrome was crashing all the time (so I was not the only one delaying the interview). The problem with such fast-moving technology is that it tends to forget compatibility with tools which still work and are 1) necessary for people to do their daily job, and 2) are often exclusive between versions. So in the end sometimes you have to completely destroy your work tool just to support one such thing. At the end when you’ve spent valuable time fixing your tool a few times, you end up being extremely cautious about such quickly changing stuff that kill your ability to do your daily job and are never reused because next time it a new tool-of-the-day will be required with the same set of problems. We definitely need to improve support for these tools in a way that respects users’ existing environments. Often it’s considered that 90% compatibility is enough, but this means that 10% of the people you want to communicate with will fail to use your tools. When you meet with 10 people it becomes a big problem every single time you engage down this route.
