Praised as painfully accurate office satire, with the channel's sketches called genius.
A short KRAZAM comedy sketch satirizing corporate tech life, where a worker reckons with having delivered value at the cost of his soul, complete with Slack chimes.
“The videos on that channel are so good that they're painful to watch” (HN, 2022)
The videos on that channel are so good that they're painful to watch, when you realize how closely it matches the life you're living. This one is my favorite (or "least favorite" depending on how hard it hits on any given day): [this video] I feel like the people doing that channel could write a very effective modern Office Space.
Microservices is probably their most popular video, but all their videos are genius. I'm partial to I Have Delivered Value... But At What Cost? [this video]
Postscript: This isn't too say constant notifications aren't bad for people's mental health, and might not exacerbate people's ADHD. Only to say that neurodiversity is a real phenomenon and that the technology isn't the primary cause. The Slack chime is a master stroke on this skit. A coworker once told me their mental health improved after they disabled the chime. (They were still responsive to messages, to be clear.) [this video]
Wingman is cool and all, but OmegaStar is really holding things up - still waiting on ISO timestamp support: [link] [this video] Shout out to the Galactus team!
[this video] OP if you watch this, don’t take it too seriously (it is a joke, but with kernel of truth). But generally if you’re feeling that way it might be time to step back and focus on other parts of your life (family, friends, hobbies, mental and physical health, travel, etc).
