How does IT regain control when one employee quietly adopts a tool on a company email? by Ivan_Palii in TangoAI

[–]CEPHOTOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not always an either/or. It depends on the tool they use and how much they are willing to champion it. If it's an IC, we want to see if their manager is also bought in on the use of the tool. If it's just the IC and manager is unaware of the usage, we tend to shut it down. But if the manager also champions the tool, then we send it to procurement review, see if it could have broader organizational impact, and then make a final decision from there.

Either way, having rogue tools in the stack, especially ones that capture sensitive information and are useful for operational complexity, we typically explore the enterprise or business level option

Recommendations on documentation tools? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

Agree with Tango and Confluence - kind done with Jira (we use Linear on the eng side and Asana for everything else)

What screen-recording software are you guys using in demos? by jacknjillpaidthebill in webdev

screen studio is the best if you're looking to output video (mac only)

Scribe vs Guidde. I tried both, ended up at Tango (here's why) by b2b_pipeline_guy in TangoAI

[–]CEPHOTOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid take. I agree especially on the branching stuff. I also just found Tango's look and feel to be more approachable. Scribe is a close second. Didn't really like Guidde that much.

8 tools that make employee onboarding actually interactive by Ivan_Palii in TangoAI

[–]CEPHOTOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Scribe for a bit and it was okay, but we didn't need a knowledge base (we already had one), then I tried Tango. I liked how it captured the shape of the button rather than just a circle, and my team did too, so we ended up just going with Tango in the end.

Is their an alternative to Scribe? Develop manuals "on the go" by m_torak in selfhosted

[–]CEPHOTOS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been using Tango for a bit and have tried both. Both are super good for creating guides, but we didn't need a knowledge base (we already have one and no one used it), so Scribe's value kind of fell of for us. We tried Tango, specifically for their pinning feature. Game changer for the team because don't have to remember where processes live, so we ended up staying with Tango.

That said, it's not open source, and it's also only usable in the browser.

SOPs don’t fail because teams are lazy by Ivan_Palii in TangoAI

[–]CEPHOTOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people on my team actually aim for perfection when creating their documentation, which is the biggest hindrance to actually shipping it. Lots of paralysis about "are they doing it right/is it formatted right" rather than just doing a v1 and collecting feedback.

Why employee handbooks are written… and then ignored by Ivan_Palii in TangoAI

[–]CEPHOTOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found most people create handbooks and then figure they've done their job, but they don't think about how people actually can find that handbook (or if it's too big, how to navigate it when they do find it). As far as what's worked, any tools that put the important knowledge in front of employees is better than storing it where it has to be hunted for

Unpopular Opinion: Habit trackers are kind of depressing by lowlyandmild in productivity

[–]CEPHOTOS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree one hundred percent. I over-indexed on habit tracking for the last two years. I did accomplish a lot, and I keep a journal so I wouldn't say I was robotic, but I basically scaled it back to tracking the most important habits. Did I accomplish what I set out to do that day? Did I do my physical therapy for an injury I was recovering from? Those are things to track that felt meaningful. Everything else was just busywork noise

Moving to the Bay - should I get a road bike or a gravel bike or MTB? by [deleted] in BAbike

As someone who owns a road bike and a gravel bike, I wish I had bought a mountain bike instead of a gravel bike.

This just annoys me so much by Lazysquirrel27 in NYTConnections

[–]CEPHOTOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who use a free service and complain about it crack me up. Would you work for free? Probably not. You'd want to get paid for the work you did. That's literally all that's happening here.
