At least 3 of the 5 big tech companies "impose" ms products and have done so for years as they grew. You're gonna miss out on a lot of upside with that mentality. To each their own though.

Microsoft, Netflix, …? Google has their own stuff. Facebook I am assuming use their own stuff like workplace. Apple I don’t see using Microsoft but I could be wrong. Netflix used / uses? Silver light so I know they have pushed Microsoft stuff l.

  Facebook uses Outlook, Amazon uses multiple MS products internally (and computers), and Microsoft of course. Not to mention all of these company's non-technical organizations leverage Microsoft software because of, you know, the ease of doing business.

  Apple uses their internal apps (Mail, Calendar, Pages, Numbers, Keynote), Slack, and of course the dreaded Webex. You can get licenses to the MS suite of products but most dogfood internal releases of the apps. (source: worked at Apple in 2020).

> You're gonna miss out on a lot of upside with that mentality. I doubt i’d miss working on code assembly lines. Plus my contracts are there to pay bills, the real coding and tech happens outside. This mentality brought me a mortgage free house, plenty of savings for the next few years and a solid network of folks whom all know whatsup. I’m doing fine with an owned personality. Probably because once a client agrees to such my “absurd” requests, such as letting me work in an environment i am familiar with since early youth, i give my absolute best to deliver the hard money i’m paid. I’ll even put up with crap such as would be agile and bootcamp “grads”. Heck i’ll even listen to how you think ai will take over your job tomorrow. Just dont mess with my os and chat app.
