If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years
Oh no…
Anyway0x0 must be for 0 compassion and 0 IQ.
Oh, fuck you.
People need an income, and they work hard to provide for their families.
Tech employees are people, too. And many of them spent years perfecting a very difficult set of skills that the market is quickly deciding isn’t as valuable as it once was, because their corporate employers regard them merely as resources to be exploited and then discarded at the first opportunity. That sucks.
It sucks whomever it happens to, be it warehouse workers, truck drivers, call center employees, retail and customer service employees, or office knowledge workers. Just because a person had made a pretty good salary doesn’t mean they haven’t still be exchanging their precious time for dollars like the rest of us, grinding away their life at a job rather than spending quality time with their loved ones and persuing their own hobbies and interests.
Seriously, fuck you dude.
Tech employees are people, too.
So were SS officials, ICE agents and US cops, people who work in weapons’ manufacturing, etc…
Fuck you right back.Holy shit you morons are coming out of the woodwork this week.
That’s your response? Do us all a favor and don’t come back.
You think they guy who writes code to make Xbox games work, or the woman who does data analytics in R and Excel to optimize cloud hosting traffic shaping rules (or whatever), is the same as ICE and the SS?!
Jesus Christ. Climb out from under your rock and go meet some real people doing real things, and do some real things of value yourself. Maybe learn how to make something with tech. Maybe learn a little bit of code, I don’t know.
I work in tech. I am not rounding up my Hispanic neighbors for ICE, nor am I building spyware infrastructure for Palantir. I write code to help doctors and nurses do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. But fuck me I guess for trying to earn a living by providing some value. And fuck Microsoft employees for writing code to allow people to play video games or whatever.
Were these the employees who made their products so awful year after year? They should have fired those guys
No that’d be the executives, you dickhead. Hey - please remember to breathe.
That would be the C-suite.
That is definitely the C-suite
Nah as far as I’m aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They’re mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.
Stripping the copper wiring from the walls.
That’s such a good analogy
they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc
The way Microsoft products feel they really can.
I’ve read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn’t a great language. It’s popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.
It’s popular because it has an insanely low barrier to entry, so that’s what gets taught in schools and boot camps. Then that’s all Jr devs know entering the work force. Companies don’t invest in mentoring juniors and cultivating talent anymore, so as the seniors get poached, retire, or move into later stages of their career, JS is the only skill left.
Win11 start menu is a react native component.
Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn’t occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

Well, given the goal is to turn Windows into a cloud-hosted, on-demand subscription service, it makes perfect sense.
TBH the software QA team wasn’t doing much all these years.
TBH they fired the QA team a long time ago.
No, really, that’s not a joke: They actually fucking did this.
The people who make the products shit are probably in leadership, so their jobs are fine. Even if they run the company into the ground, they’ll still be fine with their golden parachutes, already vast wealth, and uncanny ability to fail upward.
