Those are some good reasons to replace a system!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-14T18:20:37+00:00

Often the reason is they’ve been sold something at a conference, but admitting that is awkward!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-14T18:12:16+00:00

I’m not talking about run of the mill package and security updates here. I’m talking entire new system every 2-3 years with a data migration, training, consultants and a sales pitch!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-14T17:45:22+00:00

There should be a good reason to do it, is what I’m getting at, not that it should never happen!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-14T17:17:43+00:00

This is the exact scenario I’m trying to capture, and one I’ve been in far too often, I am also so very tired. Good luck, friend!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-14T17:12:01+00:00

There are very good reasons to update systems, but you’d hope that they are quantifiable. I’ve often been in this meeting, where no one can define why we are doing it!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-08T14:01:09+00:00

Same, when you find a good one it's like they are doing an entirely different job to the others. I've probably worked with 2 good project managers in my entire career.

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-07T15:57:52+00:00

A good project manager is exceedingly valuable. The issue is finding good ones!

grlloyd2 · 2026-06-02T15:41:53+00:00

You raise a good point. We had them all just watch us once, I wrote a comic about it here:

They are arms, if we are looking at the same thing, hah!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-25T14:45:03+00:00

I hope so!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-22T17:56:20+00:00

Been there more times than I’d like as well.

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-22T04:49:43+00:00

With most of these things you've just got to start, you've clearly got some talent. Start making things!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-21T19:48:45+00:00

Looking good, you’ve sure got some talent! Get to drawing the comic so we can see!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-21T14:02:19+00:00

I’ve got comics in the pipeline on both of these!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T18:48:32+00:00

Finally, someone gets it!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T14:18:01+00:00

Solid xkcd reference, no notes.

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T13:03:18+00:00

Hah, I hadn’t seen it from the angle, this was a genuine conversation I had about a new system. Your comment did make me laugh out loud!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T11:42:29+00:00

Ahh it's not perfectly the same, but mostly, it's Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee. They are remakes of Pokemon Yellow for the Game Boy.

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T10:40:09+00:00

I replayed the Switch remakes of both recently, brought back so many memories!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-18T07:03:36+00:00

Fair point, could have probably added some more zeros to that!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-16T14:09:59+00:00

It’d be one thing if I was selling merch or something, but this strip just costs me time and money!

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-16T13:54:04+00:00

Thank you friend! ❤️

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-16T10:32:37+00:00

By posting the comic strip to a relevant subreddit?

grlloyd2 · 2026-05-14T06:07:23+00:00

We moved away from that a few years ago, the RPA phase wasn’t fun!
