Something dead simple like posting a stack trace, and then having someone able to, you know, read it... It's just not something teams really does well.

I can understand how the tooling probably does a ton of stuff that corporate users want (integrating with calendars, tons of access controls for spaces for important people to talk, etc) but for a dev working primarily with a handful of other devs and qas, there is a feature set mismatch. I can't begin to tell you how badly I don't give a shit about 99% of its features.

How long has it been since you used Teams? I'm no apologist, I have plenty of gripes with that piece of crap software, but this seems like a crazy stretch. Teams makes it almost trivial to embed code blocks with syntax highlighting for a wide array of languages, which can be easily copied out of Teams or opened in a separate viewer for easier reading.

It's been about 36 hours?

Maybe we're using an old version or something, but code blocks still don't expand horizontally to fill the available space, so we just get a horizontal slider bar.

or opened in a separate viewer for easier reading.

Yes, that's my beef. If I need to juggle content to external text editors to read them, then IMO it has failed the categorical imperative of the tool.
