- michaelt 1y agoIf you call that defending microsoft, I'd hate to see what attacking them looks like :)
- dude250711 1y agoSave it for when they stick Copilot into Azure portal.
- antonvdi 1y agoThey're already doing that.
- alias_neo 1y agoHa, you haven't used it recently have you? Copilot is already there, and it can't do a single useful thing. Me: "How do I connect [X] to [Y] using [Z]?" Copilot: "Please select the AKS cluster you'd like to delete"
- GuestFAUniverse 1y agoPerfect answer /s
- nflekkhnnn 1y agoActually one of the inventors of k8s was the project lead for copilot in the azure portal, and deployed it over a year ago.
- dijit 1y agoNot to put too fine a point on it, but if I have a dark passenger in my tech life it is almost entirely caused by what Microsoft wants to inflict on humanity - and more importantly; how successful they are at doing it.
- amelius 1y agoIn commenter's defense, their comment makes no sense.
- madjam002 1y agoMy favourite was the Azure CTO complaining that Git was unintuitive, clunky and difficult to use
- macintux 1y agoIsn’t it?
- Hilift 1y agoIronically, the GitHub Desktop Windows app is quite nice.
- dspillett 1y agoYes. But the point is compared to Azure in places the statement was very much the pot commenting on the kettles sooty arse. And git makes no particular pretence to be particularly friendly, just that it does a particular job efficiently.
- lawgimenez 1y agoSounds like he’s describing Windows phone.
- ac2u 1y agoFeel like I have to defend windows phone here, I liked it! Although I swore off the platform after the hardware I bought wasn’t eligible for the windows phone 8 upgrade even though the hardware was less than two years old. They punished early adopters
- lawgimenez 1y agoYeah Windows Phone's first releases were decent. I have developed apps for Windows actually using Window's UWP framework but there weren't enough users on their platform sadly.
- sfn42 1y agoI've only used Azure, to me it seems fine ish. Some things are rather overcomplicated and it's far from perfect but I assumed the other providers were similarly complicated and imperfect. Can't say I've experienced many bugs in there either. It definitely is overpriced but I assume they all are?
- sofixa 1y ago> In Microsoft's defense, Azure has always been a complete joke. It's extremely developer unfriendly, buggy and overpriced. Don't forget extremely insecure. There is a quarterly critical cross-tenant CVE with trivial exploitation for them, and it has been like that for years.
- hinkley 1y agoGiven how much time I spent on my first real multi-tenant project, dealing with the consequences of architecture decisions meant to prevent these sorts of issues, I can see clearly the temptation to avoid dealing with them. But what we do when things are easy is not who we are. That's a fiction. It's how we show up when we are in the shit that matters. It's discipline that tells you to voluntarily go into all of the multi-tenant mitigations instead of waiting for your boss to notice and move the goalposts you should have moved on your own.
- rk06 1y agoHmm, isn't that the same argument we use in defense of windows and ms teams?
