> but the question is why do all the companies buy into their full ecosystem,
Old manager I had one told me: "I wish Microsoft made all the software in the world because it works so well together!" He was the guy who bought our company a one-way ticket to O365. He was also woefully tech ignorant and could barley drive software outside of office programs.
- casey2 1y agoYup, proves the old adage that you never let the tech fluent make tooling decisions for normal people. Nothing would kill a large orgs momentum faster than half their employees stuck reading man pages for trivial tasks. Microsoft is a good black and white, you can do this or you can't. Which works better organizationally than the "I bet I could hack this together in a few weeks" and have everyone wait around so one "10x dev" can feel like a special snowflake
