sooner or later, theres going to be an outage in their infrastructure or sloperating system that takes days or weeks to fix, because they have completely lost grasp of their codebase. this is the real existential risk

    We crossed that line years ago. Windows development has just been layers of paint for years. Exchange has been on life support even though it underpins 365. The only Office updates have been style and icons (ok, and integration with OneDrive, but they still haven't implemented it for PowerPoint, shared editing still only works with word and excel). OneDrive is just SharePoint with a client app. Teams is also just SharePoint.

    There are no software engineers at Microsoft any more.

    It's already happened, Halloween 2025ish? Front door was fully down for hours, and when it came back up people weren't allowed to make changes, and when people were allowed to, they had a 45 minute delay before they could take effect. Even now it takes awhile for the changes to go live.
