by the time I retire from computing, software companies will have delivered on their decades-long dream of people being able to book meetings automatically

in reply to @vogon's post:
it's truly bewildering, this post was specifically prompted by seeing a demonstration of google's new workplace chat app autocompleting "can we book some time" to "can we book some time next week" after presumably consulting the speaker's calendar
like was sending out an appointment on one of those "book some time on my calendar" sites or opening up a new appointment in outlook and looking in the sidebar too much work for everyone
if it is it's a sign your meeting has too many required attendees imo
this now has me thinking about adversarial calendars and two people colluding to subject their coworkers to the least convenient meeting times possible
Calendly exists now. We should have just declared that Enough. The end of computing history. The final thing that was missing. We will never need a piece of software again
If it keeps people from playing Battleship with my company-viewable calendar and picking the only two times that I have meetings in a week to schedule something, sure, sign me up.
