Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone? I’ve really grown to appreciate the language itself, but I’m wary of it getting too ingrained at work only to have the rug pulled out from under us when it’s become hard to back out.

Edit: not really “pulling the rug”, but, you know, doing the Microsoft classic.

    Corporations aren’t people and don’t behave like people. Giving credit to corporations doesn’t work in the long term, because people who work for them are constantly changing. The ones who did a good job may leave or get replaced, and the ones who take over may not care about maintaining their legacy.

      Surely the inverse is also true then? People change, leadership changes, goals change so why assume the Microsoft of today is as bad as its past self?
