Wrong.
It’s just me using my brain and not wanting to waste time on broken garbage, as I already explained.
Well, the problem is actually not so much that Mautic is broken right now.
The problem is that ALL versions Mautic has released so far are broken in that they can’t be used in a real-life environment in business and the biggest problem is that:
THERE IS NO PROSPECT OF THIS GETTING BETTER!
In other words, without those structural changes, Mautic WILL REMAIN broken no matter what you do (on the level of contributing to fixing individual bugs).
And if you fail to see that, then I recommend switching your brain on.
I guarantee that’ll help. Just switch it on and you’ll instantly see the problem.
So, don’t confuse brain usage with “dis-service” if you fail to switch your brain on to begin with.
Wrong again.
I’ve never used Mautic in the production environment in business because based on my own testing in a testing environment there HAS NEVER BEEN a version of Mautic that isn’t broken in some way i.e. every single version has some of the important functions broken and you simply CANNOT use that if you are running a business.
Unless you deliberately want to install a software that’s gonna ruin your business.
I would certainly like to use Mautic in a production environment in business BUT ONLY IF at some point they release a version that doesn’t have at least some of the important functions broken.
As I like to say: At least all of the WHEELS on the Mautic “car” must be turning.
If they can’t release a version where at least that is the case, then it’s simply no good.
No matter how much they try to polish the turd. The turd remains a turd.
Of course, it’s a sad thing.
Because in THEORY Mautic potentially could be a very useful software.
But based on my testing in PRACTICE it has remained a turd until this point.
And the saddest thing is:
There’s currently NO indication that this might change in the future.
I certainly HOPE this will change at some point in the future and this is why I’ve been posting in this forum.
But sadly, at presence there’s no indication it will.
Because the existing approach of 14-year olds in this forum has so far been to polish and to lick the turd.
And that approach has proven ineffective.
Trying to polish and to lick and to praise the turd clearly doesn’t change the fact that it remains a turd.
My approach might not be to everyone’s liking and in fact, I know that the 14-year olds in this forum hate it (I knew it before I started posting), but at the very least my approach has sparked an emotionally charged discussion and it regularly FORCES you to come back to this thread and to post here (even though from my point of view this thread had accomplished its purpose a long time ago and as far as I’m concerned this thread can be buried or even deleted).
But that supposed “negativity” does sting you and prompts to keep posting here.
You wouldn’t do that in a thread where I’d be singing kumbaya and hallelujah.
Now, will this different approach of mine lead to any actual RESULTS?
i.e. will it produce enough movement that would ultimately result in a version of Mautic that’s no longer a turd?
I don’t know.
But I do know one thing:
If one particular approach isn’t working (and 14-year olds licking and praising the turd clearly doesn’t work),
then you should try a different approach IF you have a brain.
Keeping doing things that don’t work is one definition of insanity.
You should always speak plainly. Leave the “diplomatic” speak to corporate idiots. That’s their domain.
Oh, and don’t tell me what to do.
I’ll always do what I consider to be the right thing to do.
And I don’t take orders from anybody.
If anything I GIVE orders.
However, in this forum, I haven’t been giving any orders.
In this forum, I attempted to spark an emotionally charged discussion (mission accomplished)
and also tried to check if there are sufficient users in this forum who actually use their brain (as opposed to the 14-year olds who just like to polish and lick the turd because they got it for free).
Well, so far not too many people have raised their hand and confirmed that they’d also to see this structural, fundamental problem fixed that I’ve described in my first post in this thread.
The difference between smart and not so smart people in business is that not very smart people like to keep themselves busy by just doing “some work” without giving any consideration as to how much impact that work has on the actual long-term bottom-line RESULTS.
It’s the approach of keeping oneself busy throwing spaghetti on the wall every day and hoping that someday, in some distant future one spaghetti noodle will finally stick to the wall. That’s for dumb people.
Smart people take one noodle and a tube of superglue, walk up to the wall and glue the noodle instantly and permanently to the wall and in the exact shape they wish.
So, instead of doing LOTS of dumb work and working “hard”, smart people prefer to work smart and produce actual bottom-line results with the least amount of work possible.
And of course, if you expressively WISH to work 20 or 100 times more than necessary to accomplish a particular result, then you should be free to do so. But I definitely DON’T belong to that category.
I prefer getting results with the least effort possible.
In this thread, I just wanted to see if there are enough users frequenting this forum who’d like at least occasionally getting a Mautic version that’s not a nicely polished turd but a version that could actually be used in a real-world business environment.
Well, there don’t seem to be too many of such users in this forum.
Anyway, don’t expect me to polish the turd for you.
Not gonna happen.
ONLY if Mautic developers/management make a conscious effort and commit to releasing – at least occasionally – a version that’s not a turd (unlike all of the existing Mautic versions so far) ONLY THEN will I be willing to contribute anything meaningful.
[h]Until that happens, I’ll gladly let you guys lick and polish this turd.[/h]
