They should axe Sharepoint, God, that will be such a beautiful day.


Sharepoint is the ultimate form of productivity theater for managers. It feels like you're doing a lot, and it's specifically designed to give managers that dopamine rush they're looking for, but the reality is they're basically doing nothing. The site is impossible to navigate, and they may as well be playing candy crush instead of organizing folders and creating custom "pages".


It always amazes me that it usually takes 10 seconds to fully render a result page when I use Office 365 search to look for internal resources. Apparently people at Microsoft think this is acceptable.


There are worse alternatives.


Don't encourage them.


Honestly, what is worse than Sharepoint? I would prefer using pen and paper over Sharepit.


At the risk of identifying myself to colleagues, I have a comment I regularly make on SharePoint sites I end up owning inside my company:

Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering Sharepoint; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee


> I would prefer using pen and paper over Sharepit.

I use pen and paper for a lot of purposes for which other people use some arbitrary application or smartphone app. This is thus in my opinion just a matter of what you are used to and what your taste is (I often say: "Simply use the tool/application that you know well: it will often be suitable.").
