Anyone remember the goomic https://mashable.com/article/google-engineer-manu-cornet-comics-critique https://mashable.com/article/google-engineer-manu-cornet-com... Microsoft’s super-political culture still seems to be around. You see this in the Azure space, where everyone internally within MS seems to be trying to one-up each other. So I’m not surprised that the .NET Foundation also suffers.

my first job inside Azure had a lot of traumatic political battles like this, but since moving to a different division (still in Azure) years ago, everything's a lot smoother. it really varies, but overall my impression over the past 9 years inside Azure is that it's really gotten better on the political infighting front. the Ballmer years were definitely the low point. it's really about the incentives the execs set up, and execs vary on how well they keep things harmonious. (opinions are my own, naturally)

It hardly changed, the whole .NET vs C++ politics are pretty much alive, and the whole GUI framework mess is another example. I lost count how many PMs they had showing us stuff how great everything was going to be, on Channel 9, YouTube and now Microsoft Learn.
