Life works in mysterious ways. Whoever you are, bring it on and prove any of my points wrong.

Like the one where 1.5T in value went pfoof due to reasons you mentioned? I will let people judge whether your arguments are most likely, or whether this is bubble syndrome. Hint: there is a large distance between use of smart pointers and market effects.

Hint: there is a small distance, almost zero, between your product being unreliable and losing your most flagship customer and the trust of the DoD.

Factor that there are limits to what I was willing to share in that story, limits that I’ll certainly not cross here.

Now, if you think that I’m wrong and that Microsoft found an entirely different way of shooting itself in the foot, I’d love to hear your perspective.
