I've worked in Windows for many many years, no idea who this guy is. He is randomly name dropping. He wants attention.

What a buzzkill and a super negative comment.

Can you give some concrete examples of “cheap young” contract workers being hired to work on product features? You seem to know a lot of things so maybe some concrete examples will help.

Rest in peace, Rainer. Your updates to C++ core guidelines and blogs help many across the world.

In what world is AWS great? A world where they don’t have a clean way to group resources and clean them up? Their own twisted identity products in AWS that doesn’t integrate outside their cloud or their other products. A world where they leave lingering resources when you cleanup something.

AWS has to much hype riding behind it.

It’s not enterprise class and looks very incohesive.

This is certainly a troll post. I use all three cloud providers. GCP is the worst of all, just try their simple text to speech UI. It doesn’t work most of the times.

Don’t even get me started on a deployment story for GCP their deployment manager is deprecated and redirect you to use terraform.

I hate to swallow it but Azure was more usable and straightforward.

I’m pretty sure bad outcomes out number good ones. Were there bad outcomes because of an incompetent provider or a test with high false positives? I’m pretty sure it’s the former.

I call bullshit on this. I had a very rare heart condition that was discovered during one of my yearly check ups. Chasing the root cause led us to even more scarier findings.

You lost me there in calling Sankrit the mother language. Telugu has a different lineage and Sankrit is alien to Indian Sub-continent. Please stop using HN to subtly push your agenda.

"Everyone" who told you that you are late to start again are idiots. Don't listen to them. You are going to do great. It takes a great amount of resolve to step out of your comfort zone and work on your startup for 7 years. That tells me that you are going to succeed in whatever you are going to do next. Take a breath and focus on what's next.

We solve a different set of problems. But people here have different skillsets. Cadence of release is also faster.

I enjoyed my time in the Windows team the most.

I used to work in the Windows team before I moved onto a team in Azure. I’ve contributed to both user and kernel mode components. You’ll work with very smart people and they will be very technical. Hiring bar in the Windows kernel team is very high compared to other teams in the company. You learn a lot. Work life balance will also be great.

The other great part is the sheer amount of engineering that will go into every feature you will own. I say “engineering” because it’ll be different from any services work you have done.

Tools that are at your disposal as part of Windows Core team is top notch.

Good luck! You will not regret this.

Let’s also not forget to call our how APIs have to be “fork” aware. I’m surprised fork is still widely in used given all of these downsides
