60-70% drop meaning if it was 100 roles last month it's 30-40 this month?

strategically perhaps, but the optics on that are so awful. I'd argue it's the wrong thing to do if you thought you'd be more profitable in a crisis.

Without knowing much about the team I really doubt this has much to do with remote work. It seems like a smart move to take pressure off team deliverables in general right now for a host of reasons.

git works well for coordinating important changes in a codebase but it's awful for quick ad-hoc changes like these most of these tasks

I've never used it, is it worse than concur?

Yeah I can think of several times when I or someone else came prepared to a remote meeting with a PowerPoint. Of course that took more work, but the product would often be reused and shared long after the meeting. Not only that, a higher quality work conveys the idea much better.

Indispensable for who? Perhaps designers? As an engineer I spent 5 years working remote and this has never been an issue. We just never needed—or even considered—drawing things.

Even now that I’m not remote all we use the whiteboard for is bulleted lists which easily can be done with notion or google docs

On the plus side, they did get a bunch of funding recently so hopefully they'll be able to devote some resources to it. They definitely seem like an organization that is pretty devoted to quality products.

Really happy to hear you are working on it. FWIW your products are so fantastic I'm definitely more critical than I would be if that wasn't the case. I hold 1Password to a super high standard.

I'll give it a spin again too as it's been a while since I tried it last and check out the forums!

You can totally design a CLI around that kind of data model without resorting to jq

While 1Password is fantastic, their CLI is the worst CLI I’ve ever seen. Basically unusable.

You should just be able to say “give me the password for yahoo.com” but you can’t actually do that.

I wanted to use it to get npm 2FA on the command line and just gave up completely.

EDIT: if someone from 1Password reads this, please reach out. I have good CLI UX experience and would love to help fix it.

but for that you'd have to use a custom parser. If you use a custom parser you could put data in comments today anyways. I don't understand that argument.

that has been the historical stance, but (for example) TLS is coming in the next release so it's going to be capable of being locked down unlike in the past
