I think the best part of Casey’s critique is pointing out that trends indicate that those blind spots are only getting bigger. Individual/personal corrections are absolutely possible, but they’re not going to stop this accelerating blind spot growth problem (especially if just as many individuals are turned off by the tenor of the critique as are convinced by its substance — this aspect is where most of my many qualifications about his critique come from). Personally, even taking his caustic critique as given, he’s more criticizing MS than the MS developers. If you know Casey’s opinions on FAANG companies, you’d know that when he says what a MS employee “should” know, it does not come from a position of holding MS in high esteem. He means, “how is this multi-billion dollar company getting it so wrong” not “how are these pitiable developers letting down the honorable MS corporation”.
