Xbox's New Official Mascot: Visual Studio In Disguise

Microsoft's product strategy in a nutshell: throw everything at the wall, see what sticks, then pretend the blood puddles were part of the plan all along. Windows Phone? Dead. Skype? Somehow still technically alive but nobody's checking for a pulse. Windows 10? They promised it would be the "last version of Windows" then immediately started working on Windows 11. Meanwhile GitHub is just chilling in the corner, the golden child acquisition that actually worked out. Probably because Microsoft learned their lesson: buy successful things and don't touch them too much. Revolutionary strategy, really. The "EEE" reference is *chef's kiss* - that's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish," Microsoft's infamous strategy from the 90s where they'd adopt open standards, add proprietary features, then kill the competition. Now they're just extinguishing their own products. Character development, I guess?

Nothing brings people together quite like mutual suffering, and boy does Windows 11 23H2 deliver on that front! Your fancy Microsoft desktop with its shiny new update? Struggling. Your trusty Lenovo laptop running the same cursed version? Also struggling. But at least they're struggling TOGETHER. It's basically a support group where everyone's crying about the same bugs, performance issues, and mysterious crashes. Who needs compatibility when you can have solidarity? Lenovo really said "we're all going down with this ship" and honestly? Respect. The real MVPs are the laptop manufacturers who ensure that when Microsoft drops a problematic update, NOBODY escapes unscathed. Democracy at its finest! 💀

Content Have you ever seen code so bad it made you laugh? David Seidman, former Security Program Manager at Microsoft (2005-2016) Answered Feb 8 Upvoted by Aveesha Sharma, Masters of Science Software Engineering, Arizona State Univ... and Mandeep Kaur, MS Software Engineering, San Jose State University (2017) R. I was working for Microsoft's security incident response team investigating a vulnerability. We opened up the relevant file. It contained 10,000 lines of uncommented archaic C code. At the top was a single comment: This code has bugs. It did. ProdrammerHumor.io

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of Microsoft with their "Stay signed in?" prompt! 😱 That little checkbox promising to "reduce the number of times you are asked to sign in" is the BIGGEST FANTASY since my code worked on the first try! The tweet nails it - what IS the most successful lie in history? Spoiler alert: it's that checkbox! ✨ I've clicked "Yes" and checked that box approximately 7,492 times on my work laptop, and yet Microsoft still has the NERVE to ask me again 5 minutes later like we're complete strangers who've never met! It's the digital equivalent of your ex pretending they don't recognize you at the grocery store! 💔
