You’re incorrect on how the publishing process works. If a vendor wrote the document, it has a single repo owner (all those docs are in github) that would need to sign off on a PR. There isn’t multiple layers or really any friction to get content on learn.msft.

I suggested that if there is no review process, it is a systemic issue, and that if there is a review process that failed to catch something this egregious, it is a systemic issue. My supposition is that regardless of how the publishing process works, there is a systemic failure here, and I made no claims as to how it actually works, so I'm not sure where the "you're incorrect on how it works" is coming from.

You said it takes multiple people screwing up, implying that publishing content had multiple gates/reviewers.

It doesn’t.

But if there are no gates, doesn't that mean the people who should have put the gates in there screwed up?

There is no singular publishing org at MSFT. Each product publishes its own docs, generally following a style guide. But the doc process is up to the doc owner(s).

		I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

How hard is this to understand.

Person A, possibly a vendor, pushed the content. Person B, working for MSFT, approved this process where the vendor could just push content, and vetted/instructed the vendor, and trusted that this vendor/process would represent the standards of the MSFT brand even amid the temptations of new tooling. Thus, at least 2 people screwed up, and probably more, because MSFT is a large corp and the vendor might be, too.

A common word for saying "2 or more" is "multiple". Multiple people screwed up. Learn to fucking count.

I've seen better review processes in hobby projects

		Neither deadlines nor cheap work for hire help any sort of review process, while an hobby project is normally done by someone who cares.

This is correct. It just takes one person to review it and you’re good to go.

There’s also a service that rates your grammar/clarity and you have to be above a certain score.

		I'll quote the relevant part of the parent post: > that is in itself a failure of the system ... and add some Beer flavor: POSIWID (the purpose of a system is what it does)
