Azure is punishment

my guess is that c.98% of users don’t have the choice of whether to use it or not (company is full ms stack) which means ms have decided not to prioritise usability

just tell them, either during or immediately after the time they are being loud

wasn’t offended, just moved to another location less near people

no net inflow

but tighter market each year

win win win
