How is Microsoft so out of touch!?
We created the easiest-to-use XR development platform for the world’s most talented creative to use. We are currently working on the interesting technical challenges in XR, real-time rendering, and lighting. Our customers’ demand for high quality visualization with great performance means we are hiring the brightest and most passionate developers. Our developers don’t just write code, though– they drive the future of our product, processes and teams.

Trying to introduce Linux into Windows isn't one of these things. Doing a UI refresh is fine but trying to make Windows UI conform to spatial computing isn't going to help it or the ecosystem in the long term.
If you look at their app building documentation, it's extremely disconcerting. This much compatibility overhead isn't helping the ecosystem grow.
I think you're right about momentum, MS isn't able to come out of it's momentum of the old into the new.
For example, Apple transitions to a new OS with confidence and takes the ecosystem with it in a blink of an eye because they are trying control their momentum instead of being driven by it.
Edit: Windows can maintain backward compatibility with its ecosystem if they did it well, like Apple has done.
I don't understand why Apple and Microsoft feel stuck to one OS.
The MBP M1 has blown me away, I don't think I'll try to go back any time soon.
His work fully outlines how depression & stress can be a coping mechanism when we're not able to express needs or emotions.
I highly recommend everyone to read and apply his approach to managing stress and psychological wellbeing.
Having come from a similar background, where the childhood abuse was real and looking back on my life I realize how much of my stress to succeed and achieve was really an attempt to appease/show up my parents. Addiction to work and "bad" habits was all a part of the response to that childhood abuse.
Like I wrote in one of my tweets [1], Gabor Mate's work has helped me to see and work towards reworking my relationship to stress.
It's unfortunate that Gabor Mate's work isn't part of our conversion around addiction, stress, crime and suicide.
That data structures and algorithm book and course is the root of so much distasteful smugness in the tech world, it's really bizarre.
[Edit]: It's almost like it was the first course we found very difficult so we should that imprint of challenge on everyone else.
If we care as a developer, we write better code, learn things and listen to our team, customers.
As for my own post, I intend to tie it in with posts on git flow - coming soon(tm).
The purpose of feature branches is agility and shouldnt be used to create more process.
What I learned is, my time is mine to protect and my skills are mine to dedicate where I see fit. Noone can oblige you to spend these things on what you don't want to.
People will always blame others for their lack of application. If they were true entrepreneurs, they will find a replacement for you.
But you are unique that you want to leave what is really a pet project (I've been in those too many times) and build a real business. You should!
Don't worry about what others will think, you can't control that.
