I dont know the person, so I don't want to judge him. And I also agree, that it can be possible to learn from everybodys viewpoint. That is a pretty general statement though. The possibilities to learn something valuable certainly vary by the source. I hope you agree, that skype, that was a great software, has been systematically wrecked by microsoft. It has not only become unusable, it gathers more and more bugs (don't start to talk about the MS classics). So MS did not get it in 40 years. You are still in good mood, that they have something valuable to tell about software development? Certainly, there are always new developers. But the culture did not change. Good luck with your hope to still learn something valuable from MS. The chance is just not too high, I guess. Yes, the author is not the company. But he takes his experience from MS as an example. And, btw., my viewpoint is neither uninformed nor shortsighted. It is pure anger about 40 years of bad software and especially about ruining skype. You one the other hand, assume things of me from 2 lines of comment. How can you believe, this is less shortsighted than you think my comment is?
