Microsoft is committed to becoming as terrible as Amazon, I guess.

Folks at Amazon at least earn more.

I think they’re realizing that there is no meaningful competition for these gigantic corporations. They’re worth 4 trillion. They saw Google got away without any consequence on the Chrome anti trust issue. They know they can keep bundling products, building new dark patterns, throwing up walled gardens, loss leading competitors (like Teams did with Slack), and all of that. And I’m sure Satya is currying favor with Trump like the rest of them to keep things that way. When you have such a situation, your company can get away with anything. If there was competition, workers and customers could go elsewhere.

It just makes me sick growing up in the USA, hearing about the beauty of “competition”, and then growing up to see that not only does it not exist… they cannot even be bothered to pretend.

As always when feeling terrible check out other places to if and where better things exist.

AWS SDEs are way more competent than Azure SDEs.

		Both organizations have some great and some horrible engineers. I don’t think that is the cause for the difference in their products quality.
