    Teams wasn’t specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren’t working remotely.

    I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.














  • It doesn’t matter what it stands for. That’s not how acronyms work.

    You don’t say “yolwa” for “YOLO”
    You don’t say “Ah-ih-dees” for “AIDS”
    You don’t say “britches” for “BRICS”
    You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.

    And if you want to argue specifically about G:
    You don’t say “Jad” for “GAD” (generalized anxiety disorder)
    You don’t say “joes” for “GOES” (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)

    It’s not a hill I’m going to die on, I use both pronunciations, but the only argument I’ve ever believed for the proper one is that the creator pronounced it “jif”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Pronunciation

    Now let’s talk about “gibs” you heathens.
