It's a fucking pain in development.

@xsevy @python they have so many billboards up in my city touting “software that doesn’t suck”

Feels like a similar pitch SalesForce used to make

Yup, all software sucks, and if someone is trying to tell you it doesn't, run.

My main goal is to write useful software that sucks less than its competitors. But I'll never try to argue that my software doesn't suck.

Sucks less than, tradeoff, compromise, words I would love to hear more in my development days.

@davesh @python I believe it can be a very useful tool from a corporate point of view, it has a lot of great solutions. But unfortunately as a programmer I get headaches because of it.

[–] Pabo@feddit.nl 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It certainly has a learning curve, and not everything is well designed. However, I think that's unfortunately to be expected of the whole domain; ERP tends to be one of the most complex types of software. The question is, which option makes this whole complexity less painful/overwhelming.

For the scope, features and breadth that Odoo offers, I think it's doing a decent job (albeit with lots of room for improvement).

Is there any alternative ERP system of a ~comparable scope that you could alternatively recommend? Python-based is ideal, but other languages are also fine.

@Pabo @xsevy Somewhat different to Odoo but take a look at ERPNext - @python based and very adaptable.

Why not???? I am doing it since 1 month now and I don't see a single problem with it.

Odoo sounds smelly

[–] twoframesperminute@mastodon.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@onlinepersona It looks sleek and says it does everything. Reason enough to keep away.

[–] kionite231@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

naah, Odoo is really good if you want your software ready in few weeks :D
