- embedding-shape 5mo agoYeah, they have bad engineers, product people and testers. Microsoft is pretty shit at launching products, does that mean "products" as a concept is wrong? No, it just means Microsoft is bad at products, not more than that. Not sure why you have to extrapolate over an entire ecosystem just because one actor is bad at something.
- knollimar 5mo agoProducts isn't the analogy, but in my example it would say something about microsofts tooling and processes. I wouldn't trust a toolmaker who doesn't know how to use the tools decently.
- _carbyau_ 5mo ago> I wouldn't trust a toolmaker who doesn't know how to use the tools decently. I agree but would extend that qualification: I wouldn't trust a toolmaker who doesn't know how to use the tools decently for exactly the same field of expertise.
- godelski 5mo ago> No, it just means Microsoft is bad at products FYI, that's what people are saying...
- arcanemachiner 5mo agoIn the case of Claude Code, it suggest a lot about the company making the hammers.
