I’ve worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

Yeah I was F-15 pods nearly 15 years ago. Despite not even close to the most senior member of the shop I became the shop expert on anything dealing with computers, be time, ordering parts, log books or figuring out why some dumbasses email didn’t work and help desk knew my name. IMDS/CAMS has got to be designed to be the most agonizing thing ever and hasn’t had a real update since the late 80s or early 90s. Cause how do you accidentally make something so awful without actually trying to inflict pain on users?!
I mean, the real gag here is not just that it’s bad and people mostly don’t use it correctly, it’s that your whole section can catch hell if QA finds even the smallest error. Better have multiple people on DIT to look over everything every single day!
It got to be one of those things that I hated so much, I sketched out plans for my own open source alternative. No guarantee that I’ll ever actually make it, but I have loads of thoughts on how to do this better.
Meanwhile, all the F-35 guys laugh at us in ALIS, which is apparently great.
