Microsoft:

I guess that’s the 30% AI generated code.

I think they sometimes support open source. Isn’t systemd in part developed by M$ people?

VS Code is well liked by developers.

Well… i really, really liked Visual Basic 6, and Windows NT 4 also was an operating system that still has a special place in my heart…

The Microsoft keybords are pretty good!

Microsoft BOB was pretty tight

Windows 2000 was pretty good.

modern .NET is awesome, mostly

Most FOSS I’ve used has at least one or two shortcomings as compared to their corporatized alternatives, but honest to god libreoffice is just straight up better than Microsoft office

tbh that took like 3 times longer to start the last time I used Windows (may have been 1-2 years ago lol)

A few days ago I read in an article that Microsoft is currently having 30% of the new source code generated by AIs - and I believe this more and more with every release.

It’s not the engineers, it’s the managers. Enginners don’t get to decide, they get to do as they are told. Developers don’t have any more power than any other large corporation employee.
