> On the whole, people far too often hold strong opinions about topics for which they have limited information. This can cause social and political movements to have plenty of people behind them with limited ideas of what they are even fighting for.

Tldr: we don't know what we are doing like the rest of 99% AI teams.

Ask: Why does everything Microsoft create lately feel fragile and half-baked?

nothrowaways — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 20:57:04 +0000

Microsoft has seemingly abandoned quality and craftsmanship a long time ago.

But more recently they are rushing to force-feed us unfinished AI and web apps just so they can stay in the AI hype race.

Call it teams, copilot, LinkedIn I've never liked anything that comes out of Ms lately, yet our company defaults to MS.

At what point should we tell our employers to say no to MS treating paying customers as unpaid bulk beta testers?
