Microsoft steadily replaced their staff with increasingly dumber and more complaint developers. I was shocked with how bad it was when I worked there and I’ve only seen it get worse since. A lot of the damage was done by Steven Sinofsky and his vicious war with Dev Div.
People wonder why the company hasn’t failed yet, it’s due to the incredible power of inertia. But even inertia runs out eventually - it’s a slow process but it is happening.
- type0 4y agoLobbying (bribing?) politicians is why they won't fail. They are like IBM, MS wouldn't hesitate to collaborate with Nazis if they have to. They surveil population on behalf of governments, existence of Windows 10 China Government Edition is evidence to why all Windows is essentially spyware.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI don’t disagree but I would consider MS turning into the modern day IBM to be a failure.
