The constant updating, changing the look or "feel" or operations of websites we use every day?
Parts lookup sites, ebay, hotmail, gmail, credit card company sites, on-line banking sites linked to local banks, and on and on.
I GUESS programmers have to justify their existence and a paycheck, but in so doing, FORCE us us old dogs to learn new tricks over and over, with NO benefits to us at all.
A guy even older than me who I've known for years is a parts manager at a large truck parts store that's part of a chain in the Midwest.
I talked to him a few days ago, looking for a big truck clutch and a few other parts.
It took WAY longer on the phone then I'm accustomed to, and he was telling me their "Corporate" had adopted new software system across the whole dealership chain and it wasn't SWELL.
He had to go out of town for a couple of days of training, was told to forget everything about the old software and embrace the new.
Trouble is the "improved" software lacks capabilities from where he's at vs. the old, GUESS that makes sense, pretty sure the preppy little software gurus don't know their way around heavy trucks.
How many of you use a site that's become BETTER/quicker/easier to use as newer software is implemented?
