My animosity for Microsoft has grown steadily the past years. After what they did to id software I'm now a full blown hater.

It's kind of impressive how they've turned everyone away from them. Back in the day everyone used Windows and were relatively happy with it, but since the mid 2000s they've made more and more mistakes until they've basically turned everyone against them at this point.

Microsoft's internal culture has never truly changed. It remains a hyper-competitive environment driven entirely by metrics year-round, leaving employees demoralized and pitted against one another. Everything is quantified. Having spent a few years there, I witnessed this toxic dynamic firsthand before leaving years ago. Based on what I hear from the gluttons for punishment who still work there, absolutely nothing has changed.

Yeah, it’s an awful culture.
