This. All the Visual Studio stuff (shame, as their tools have long had a good reputation). .NET . Etc.
It's a trap.
Been around long enough to have formed that singular impression of such Microsoft initiatives and to have it confirmed, repeatedly.
They failed in mobile. They are losing mindshare elsewhere.
It's a trap.
I'm not going to try to back up my statement, here and now. Just keep it in mind. The more wary you remain, the quicker you can move away when the noose tightens.
Cheers
- atomic77 10y agoYes, it's a trap, but not much different than the traps other companies are attempting to lay for you. Remember that the majority of people working at Microsoft today probably have little to no memory of the tech world of the early 2000s. They don't seem too much better or worse than others in attempting to shape open-source projects to their benefit - that's something you should always be wary about.
