:) A while ago, I realized you could plug a USB mouse and keyboard
into a smartphone and they'll work. I imagine a tablet could double as
a laptop that way.

I just saw a video where a jailbroken Kindle can run Linux and act as an
e-ink SSH console. That's my next project. that might support a
bluetooth keyboard...

Forgive me. I work in Silicon Valley with executive thought partners
and innovation accelerators, according to linkedin.

That actually sounds like a cool idea.

I worked in local government which had titles that made no sense, until
you realize that they were a union shop and the titles were negotiated
when they had a server room full of AS/400s. Applications programmer,
Systems analysts, Systems Analyst.

So, I must know, what is the difference between the last two? ;)

What that devolved into was a caste system where applications
programmers fixed your Outlook problem but wouldn't move your monitor
or keyboard. Systems analysts would come and move hardware, swap out
monitors, replace mice and so forth. It made no sense whatsoever, meant
the hardware guys were paid less, and complicated issues with
customers.

We were not union but sometimes had that happen, too.

A lot of software is crappy though, at least by *my* expectations. What
I think is hot garbage (like Discord), other people seem to like.

Discord desktop app or mobile app or web app?

It all went wrong around the time programmers thought they could
develop anything. That job belongs to senior systems analysts.

I've worked a lot of a companies since 1990 and not once have I worked with an "analyst". I remember the job listings (in newspapers) were usually for "Programmer/Analyst" in the 1990s, but that went away around the turn of the millenium. Nobody was hiring strictly "analysts" anyway, that I could see:

Desktop app. Specifically the Linux one. Though the Windows one is
also electron.

Its slow, a bit confusing, constantly promotes stuff I don't have
interest in, and won't run if it needs an update. And it needs an
update seemingly every week or every second week.

Modern software behaves as if it has ADHD. I'm beginning to think it is programmed by mentally ill people, who give their software the
characteristic of someone like them.

I meant to type systems engineer. Mind you, all three of these titles
worked in a Windows server/AD/Windows desktop environment.
