Hmm. I can think of a company or two where I'd like to try it.
Of course, what I would fix would be their ability to continue foisting their crap on an unsuspecting world create software...

Good one! Though I cannot imagine the level of OCD that would drive someone to do that.

Yes. Sepellchecking.

Dang, pretty extreme!
I've got a list but don't think I've got enough time if I were to apply at Microsoft!

Yes, I have considered doing something like this!
And there are a few companies I'd like to buy just to fix them according to my preferences, were I to win the lottery jackpot.
Problem is (as far as these fantasy plans go), most companies where I would like to change something as an employee are too big to be able to guarantee working on the thing that bothers me, and most companies I'd love to buy (were I a lottery winner) are too big even for a lottery winner to buy.

You don't necessarily need to buy them, just buy enough shares to have a voice / vote / veto in the board

Not quite the same thing, but still worth a mention:
A few weeks ago some guy reverse-engineered Grand Theft Auto Online's loading code, and figured out where it was spending so much time (as I understood the summary: a badly-written JSON parser). He submitted a fix and the publisher implemented it into a patch shortly thereafter.
I can personally vouch that loading time has been cut down substantially. And it had been plaguing the game since day one.

Kubernetes for beginners.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm not a web programmer, so I just read skimmed the wikipedia article on Kubernetes[^].
Based on my initial impression, Kubernetes For Beginners is kind of like Become a Neurosurgeon in 21 Days!!.

What did you treat? Are you referring to your computer or your lawnmower?
