      relatedly: msft turned semi-good for a couple of years (making tooling more accessible across platforms, actual foss work, etc), and then seems to have an internal about-turn on this, and seem intent on speedrunning being most-hated again. stiff competition too, that’s why they’re trying so hard

        I used to argue with people that from all of the giants (the FAANG nonsense) MSFT was “the good guys” because they were doing god’s work with FOSS. I still think .NET is an amazing technology and everyone working on it should be praised.

        But then I got actually hired by MSFT and… you quickly realise this is just surface level shit. No one in management could give less of a fuck about open-source, or anything other than Growth™ for that matter. I speedran disillusionment and quit after little more than a year. In the end, it’s just a big corpo doing big corpo shit. It has no values. It has no morals. It has no vision, other than that of a high $MSFT number.

        If MSFT did anything good it’s despite internal pressures and incentives, not thanks to them.
