This is good, but given the amount of terrible decisions in the last few weeks from Microsoft I've lost all trust in them. This will pass, and they'll sneakily do something else.
It's clear from the reaction of the well known alt.net people that this problem is strategic, and coming from above. Nothing in this move signifies a change in that strategy.
- tytrdev 5y agoWeird take IMO. I don’t trust MS and strive to stay away from their products where possible. Their acquisitions of a lot of OSS stuff make that pretty hard these days, though… But I find it weird to expect perfect decision making out of an organization with hundreds of thousands of employees with a global influence. I don’t know any individuals with perfect decision making skills, so when you take the union of that and add hierarchy, I certainly wouldn’t expect a system of perfection. Especially when perfection is defined by some relative/personal standard. I agree with your opinions that Microsoft will do weird stuff going forward and that this decision means nothing. It’s also irrelevant to me since I don’t use .NET for absolutely anything. But if your “trust” in an org is based on them not making “terrible decisions”, I think it may be impossible to actually trust any org. Since inevitably at scale every org will make bad choices. Not criticizing you, just thinking out loud.
- aliswe 5y agoas i mentioned elsewhere in the discussion of this post, the chairman or w/e left their position after the debaucle
- aoetalks 5y agoThat resignation wasn’t about hot reload - it was about merging a PR over objections by maintainers.
