@sara Software as a seasonal affective disorder

@sara It's nice to see all the software I've ever written can now be classified

@sara /me cries in truth

@sara well the problem with SaaD is that it's not so much a category, but really, most software, very close to all

@sara
Or software as a disease

@sara via @mmasnick

I think this is related to SaaD:

@sara I mean there’s some really disappointing platforms out there.

@sara DaaS: Disappointment as a Service. (most major vendors)

@sara I need to share this with my team tomorrow. They'll get it!

@sara also works: Software as a Disservice

@sara due to this toot I’ll never be able to read DaaS as anything other than “Disappointment as a Service”

@sara

I love accidental typos like this.

Reminds me about when I said I prefer to find bugs at compile-time verses ruintime.

@sara Perfect!

@sara when I worked for bell Canada i had a bunch of demotivational posters on my wall, one of them was

'customer disservice, because we're not happy until you're not happy'

My boss made me take it down because they said it 'pissed off the client' 🙊

@sara
🙏 ha

@sara

@sara common typo w

@sara OMG brilliant! Frame this and write it to the blockchain immediately

@sara Brings whole new meaning to CI/CD.

@sara Excuse me, i have to send a work email now . .

@sara So true that I am laughing almost too hard to type. I now have a brand-new tech acronym to add to my collection and share with my tech friends. Thank you for this.

@sara The bits will always break your heart.

@sara that is *unpleasantly* accurate.

@sara desaad… is evil.

@sara most are-- and I’ve worked for many SaaS and CPaaS companies

@sara haha

@sara This entire thread has made me literally laugh out loud several times so far! "It's funny because it's true" reigns here!

@sara
@elfinit

That's PERFECT!

@sara It's all so clear now. I can't think of much that isn't SaaD.

@sara sending this to my friend Saad.

@sara software as a disorder

@sara As a software developer and user for 40 years, this is way too painfully true.

@sara But did they trademark it?

@sara Ransomware is to SaaS as Bootleggers are to Politicians who are the Children of Bootleggers.

@sara OT: "saad" is an estonian word for ("to get", as in "You will get" :)

@sara yes, but also counterpoint, I like software

@sara Haha! Love it.

@sara

The entire business model, right there.

@sara I'm more familiar with DaaS than with SaaD but yes, you're right.

@sara that's a mood if ever there was one

@sara This is hilarious 😅

@sara
"SaaD" and  "gReeD" appropriately summarize my feelings on the past 10-15 years of the software business.  Thank goodness some people are finally starting to wake up.

@sara I'mma stealing that ;)

@sara I'll stick this on my next executive briefing, just to see if anyone is paying attention 😜

@sara Bang on!!

@sara works with GAAS / GAAD too.

Theme song for this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypfoUcXg2nA

Some background, the vocals are by Lebanese actress and singer Sabah (Janet Gerges Feghali) and seems to have been first recorded in the 80's. Her song is so famous and has been covered so many times that I found it quite difficult to find good references about its history. It doesn't help that I don't speak the language.

@sara

@sara This is hands down, the worst I've ever felt after reading a joke and being mad I didn't come up with it first.

@sara disappointment as a service?

@sara I am a SaaD developer alright

@sara everywhere. ubiquitously delivered. the lie is everywhere #prplXprpgnd

@sara Sometimes autocorrect just *knows*. A client of mine postponed a call yesterday as he had had a "packed aches of meetings today". I truly feel his pain!

@sara ...that checks out...

@sara This week I had to jump through a LOT of hoops to get set up at a new client site, and one of those things involved getting an exception from their security team. When we had trouble meeting the requirements, I jokingly referred to the security team as “NaaS” - “NO! As a Service”. I ended up agreeing to use a buggy 10 year old version of some software because it was “approved”, rather than the latest version, which remains unapproved after 3 years.

@sara I love this 😅

@sara I did a search for irate bay this morning.

@sara software as a disservice

@sara I like blaming the spell checker too, when I don't proof read my comment.

@sara
saassy…software as a shit-show, yeah…

@sara terrible writer...

@sara I'm keeping that one in my back pocket. :D

@sara I am totally stealing this and following you toot sweet. 🙂

@sara @broximar instant-top-of-lexicon material

@sara We have a new version out! read the title making me flinch right away.

@sara software as a disservice

@sara Personally I'm more of a Disappointment As A Service kinda guy. Give me your requirements and your budget, and I will disappoint you.

@sara The lie is generally in the uptime SLA.

tbh @sara that’s just saad maan

@sara

Was recently in 'SAFe' training, and a friend had to look it up because he was pretty sure it was 'Software As Fsck Everything'

Not exactly that far off ...

@sara this is why the BBEdit motto,”It doesn’t suck “, is so great.🍸😹

@sara
Personal "oof" size: extra extra large

@sara hi, I'm a disappointment.

@sara Yo my name is Saad, and I don't give a fuck.

@sara That could work for most things that are sold "as a service" (I maaged Contact Center as a Service projects - sometimes, the product that we use can be quite a disappointment, as well, LOL!)

@sara @Gargron Every person should carry two pieces of paper, one in each pocket. On the first, write the words “Trust your vendors.” On the other, write “All vendors suck.”

(With apologies to Reb Simcha Bunim of Peshischa)

@sara it's nowhere. No lies at all. Also:

Software as absolute Dreck
Software as a Derangement
Software as avaricious Dishonesty

@sara I want to start a "Sarcasm as a Service" business.

@sara No lie detected at all.

@sara I mean, cards? How Boomer can SAS be??? 😂

@sara LOL I work for a SaaS and I just told them all this joke and they died.

@sara Lies Detected: Zero.

@sara Wearables will hence be referred to as HaaDwear from now on.

@sara brilliant

@sara Software Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones

@sara now you've got me thinking a whole list of similar things..

- Infrastructure as a Dissapointment
- Test Driven Depression
- Continuous Drudgery
- Behaviour Driven Dissatisfaction

@sara This was announced by Salesforce at Dreamforce last year

@sara This describes many things Musk touches.

@sara This did make me snigger. Thanks for that 😊

@sara 😂

@sara That is beautiful. I want to frame it.

@sara this description needs swag

@sara
That sounds pretty saas to me

@sara I worked for a SAAS company a couple of years back. Certainly saad, as was the company itself. I quit. Just gave my notice and walked away. They weren't worth my time.

@sara LMAO!!!!!!!! This made me laugh so much!
