Oh yes, this, this.

It drives me nuts when people utterly miss information that I ensured was clearly available to them. It happens in many scenarios.

Office 365 WTF

Can someone explain why, within a web interface, Office365 allows collaborative edits on Word and Excel but not plain, simple text files?

(Well, you can have two people edit at the same time, but you overwrite each other's work)

Well, and I am guessing...

Excel seems simple. You give control of a cell (or range of cells) to a user, they can edit it, and not worry about conflicted a different cell that someone else is working on.

Word. I expect it's similar. The document likely tracks "ranges" (sections, paragraphs, pages, whatever...) individually, so again you can determine who is working on what part and ensure it doesn't conflict somebody else working on a different part.

A simple text file... well that's basically just one single field/cell/range. So you can't easily apply the same rules that you have done for Excel/Word.

I don't buy it. I've seen simpler things elsewhere, and if it needed to worry about breaking the content up into bite sized pieces then it can do it line by line.

Should you not implement your #wife style:

CSS

body.wife {
            visibility:hidden;
            font-family:curse-ive;
}
Caused by:

<b>husband</b>

After 40+ years of marriage I believe I can vouch for the veracity of the 50/50/80 rule, which states:

If you have a 50/50 chance of choosing the correct option, 80% of the time you'll get it wrong.
