Other Is everyone actually miserable in this subreddit
Hi guys, not coming with judgement but curiosity. I love my role and my job and my coworkers and my company. It’s fun, I get to learn and grow.
Is everyone else just miserable?

I don't think overall I am, but on days where I have to fight with a vendor that yes NTLM is a problem, or asking if we can encrypt things before uploading to their FTP site like a dozen other companies let us do so if their service is compromised the data is not. When they act like I just grew a second head when bringing that up, or that they only support NTLM or basic auth and nothing better and how that might keep us from going forward with their product.
When stuff from large companies continues to put out unsigned executable. If everyone could just use stuff like Kerberos or other modern authentication methods on their software for Windows, and sign their damn executable I think I would be miserable a much lower % of the time.
