From the tweetstorm the article quotes:
> The Internet Explorer team was the hardest-working team I’ve ever been on. And I’ve worked at multiple start-ups. It was a sprint, not a marathon. We ate every meal at the office. We often held foosball tournaments at 2 am, just to get the team energy back up to continue working!
- mcny 3y agoMicrosoft is such a strange company. For the people I know who worked there, it was allegedly almost a vacation. Why is there so much difference in work load in different teams?
- harshalizee 3y agoIt's a very large company. Each org/vertical might as well be it's own company, and it was just that disconnected and isolated from each other. There are entire teams maintaining ancient products that I've never heard of and there are teams working on cutting edge stuff in their vertical or industry. Culture similarly varied widely between orgs. I moved from a very chill team to one in azure. It was the same as moving to a different industry altogether
