SFU students like to complain about our digital infrastructure. I can attest to this because I am a student, and I’m complaining right now. Everything from Canvas being slow to courses filling up in minutes is enough to earn a top post in r/simonfraser. I like to imagine that SFU’s IT department had these posts in mind when they decided to schedule their latest update during most people’s enrollment dates — a crisp screw you to the haters.  

This isn’t a complaint against SFU’s IT department as a whole; I know it takes hard work to keep our systems safe and running smoothly. But surely a line must be drawn somewhere that isn’t the hopes and dreams (and wallets) of fourth-year students trying to finish their required courses.

Yes, I know there are site functions that Weebly wouldn’t be able to accommodate, but that’s where ingenuity comes in! When has Weebly ever let us down? #goSFUgoesWeebly2k24

I promise I’m not actually broke in real life, too . . . but I see how my card declining when I tried to renew the parking space suggests that. It’s because the bank flagged it as a suspicious purchase because I don’t usually stoop as low as that kind of joint . . . showing how much...
