On a more serious note...
I'm in Seattle, and I've worked with a lot of ex-Microsoft people on various projects. I find that they are often committed to the Microsoft way of doing things, which is often appropriate for a huge software company, but wildly inappropriate for a small startup.
- robryan 16y agoUnlike other big companies there is usually a Microsoft way of doing things instead of just the best way. For those coming out of Google there isn't really anything like a complete inhouse software stack that they have been exposed to like there is at Microsoft.
- rbanffy 16y agoIt somewhat saddens me there is usually a Microsoft way of doing things in complete opposition to just the best way.
- yuhong 16y agoYea, Techrights has several cases where ex-Microsoft people that was hired recently led the company to add a MS stack as an option. It is interesting that an issue that was discussed there years ago has become more widely discussed recently.
- rbanffy 16y agoYou cannot trust Techrights to be balanced. Those folks have a serious (albeit understandable, I admit) case of MS hatred. But I also observed this behavior many times.
- yuhong 16y agoYea, I never agreed with every claim they make.
- MartinCron 16y agoIt's less about the MS stack (I love the MS stack) and more about the practices, etc.
