okay, it's time.

a friend of mine left Microsoft a while ago. he said that the reason he left was The Microsoft Way Of Doing Things that, upon accepting and embracing it, will make you unhirable to everyone else. Doing so was a requirement — you won't make it long without becoming One Of Them.

he may or may not have used Visual C++, C# and F#, and he may or may not have touched Windows.

    I had heard the same issue from Google devs. But I do not think it makes you unhireable.

    Does F# still exist?

    @Lensflare I bet M$ GitHub or TS teams and M$ Windows Server teams live vastly different lives.

    Corporations always used brainwashing and propaganda techniques designed during wartimes. Turn your company into a cult and you will have slaves customers and slaves workers.

    If you work at Microsoft then you're probably making the big bucks...why would you wanna leave?

    @UberSalt maybe because you realize that you are becoming a corporate slave and a soulless husk and want to stop that before it‘s too late?

    remember when shitty co workers viewed writing unreadable and ridiculous code as job security

    well that's Microsoft making employee security
