I actually like Microsoft these days. Despite developing on Mac machines, we use VSTS for code repo, build/release pipelines and work item tracking, and Azure for all things cloud. It all works incredibly well together and at low cost.

Microsoft has changed ethos massively in the last few years. In my opinion, the classic dev mantra of “Microsoft is shit and evil, Linux is flawless” is outdated and getting kind of boring.

    I actually kind of agree. Linux is still my preferred device environment because I think the tools are a little better for my workflow, but I work on Windows every day and it's actually fine.

    Not to mention, Microsoft has some great open source projects on github: vscode, typescript, the C# compiler

    Even the C#/.NET documentation is on github, so you can file issues and all that

    @gitlog Yes, it’ll be interesting to see how that develops.

    They’ve not yet begun to wash the blood from their hands. They’ve only stopped swinging the ax for the moment.
