Were these the employees who made their products so awful year after year? They should have fired those guys

Nah as far as I'm aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They're mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.

I've read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn't a great language. It's popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.

Win11 start menu is a react native component.
Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn't occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

Oh no...
AnywayOh, fuck you.
People need an income, and they work hard to provide for their families.
Tech employees are people, too. And many of them spent years perfecting a very difficult set of skills that the market is quickly deciding isn’t as valuable as it once was, because their corporate employers regard them merely as resources to be exploited and then discarded at the first opportunity. That sucks.
It sucks whomever it happens to, be it warehouse workers, truck drivers, call center employees, retail and customer service employees, or office knowledge workers. Just because a person had made a pretty good salary doesn’t mean they haven’t still be exchanging their precious time for dollars like the rest of us, grinding away their life at a job rather than spending quality time with their loved ones and persuing their own hobbies and interests.
Seriously, fuck you dude.

Well, given the goal is to turn Windows into a cloud-hosted, on-demand subscription service, it makes perfect sense.

That would be the C-suite.
That is definitely the C-suite

If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years
