I seriously believe there's no institutional knowledge left at Microsoft. Seemingly everything they've been doing in the last five years has been the exact same thing inexperienced organizations who are used to the layers of abstraction do. They even failed at keeping their UI chimp simple, which was the one thing you could reliably give them credit for, even if it ended up being ugly and unwieldy at times. There's seemingly three operating systems hiding in Windows 11 and none of them were designed even knowing the others exist.
- pjmlp 3y agoCan confirm, at least in what concerns anything WinRT/UWP/WinUI 3.0 related. Mostly interns and fresh people out of university, with a couple of old timers as managers. Everyone that actually knew Windows development already saved themselves into Google, AWS, Azure or jumped into AI craziness going on MS. Those of us with long time Windows development background, would make remarks on community calls or Github issues, regarding Windows Forms or WPF capabilities still missing, both in framework features or Visual Studio tooling, and get stare looks about what we were at all talking about.
