Not saying it can’t be, but I’ll be more convinced by an article that is a bit less emotionally loaded. It’s clear that the author has a bone to pick with Microsoft, and it reads as it’s written by a high schooler who wants to LARP as a journalist.
Just to be clear I have been in big tech corpos with cult-ish undertones and I have also seen the mindset poppycock shoved to my face multiple times, it’s not that I find their contents hard to believe. I just find that article hard to trust.
that's just how Ed Zitron always writes. he makes some good points usually despite that, i wouldn't dismiss him just because of it.
his blog is widely known and read among tech workers. i saw another one of his articles posted on hacker news just this morning.
