Lovecraftian rant about the horrors of Blackboard

Yeah. Cross-platform frameworks are very important. I’d be delighted if one actually existed and it wasn’t shite. The closest I’ve seen is Python, but that’s really not saying much. There’s so much variation in the executable libraries of the numerous spinoffs of Python that it seems there’s a lot of room for improvement.

As it is, I’m simply astounded that every minor Java patch and update manages to almost completely break backward compatibility with my company’s timekeeping software. It’s a common software too, I’ve used it at every job I’ve worked.

Either Java is just garbage, or the timekeeping software is terribly designed, or both. And I’m pretty sure it’s both.
