"Don't trust Microsoft. It is in their DNA to screw you."
Companies don't have a DNA. Humans do. Companies change as employees come and go, as the environment changes, etc. Don't antropomorphize them.
Companies act in their financial interest. Very rarely not, but mostly yes. I don't know why is it so hard to accept that.
- sangnoir 11y ago> Companies don't have a DNA What then is this "company culture" I hear about all time on HN? Also, what percentage of employees have changed at Microsoft since the "old" Microsoft - 60, 75, 90%? If companies don't have DNA/culture/behavioral momentum and can change at the drop of a pin, it implies all the work that has been done can be undone by Nadella's successor in short order.
