Bonkers World

If they don't whitelist and use the rate at which their own emails end as spam to improve their spam filter, that's great engineering culture. If they don't whitelist and the emails just land in spam without anyone taking notice, that reminds me more of the well-known slightly satirical image of Microsoft's org chart [1] 1: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts This classic is still very true for Microsoft at least.

Hah, I love that comic. Here's the full one: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

I feel like I hit the sweet spot by only ever using WinForms, then getting out. Their framework strife seems like a manifestation of their depiction in this classic: http://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

I believe this famous comic said it best: http://www.bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts/ For all Satya's promises, nothing _really_ changed.

At least they provided attribution, but I'm not sure that they had permission to reprint these from their source at http://www.bonkersworld.net/

People have to stop thinking about which side is more fun to "cheer" to and start thinking about what's in your best interest as a consumer. Everyone copies everyone [1]. Apple copied a lot of features from Android [2] and improved upon them. Samsung copied a lot of stuff from Apple and improved them to levels Apple had never gone to before. [3] As the author of the article shows. Copying doesn't stop innovation. It has always been like this with any innovation. There's a reason Newton and Einstein said "I can only see so far because I'm standing in the shoulder of giants". Any innovation made by humans is inspired by hundreds of years of history. For us as consumers, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day we get better products from this. We gain from innovation and competition. If Apple didn't copy Android, your iPhone would be worse. If Samsung didn't copy Apple, the best selling phone in the market would be worse. And every consumer would lose. If Apple wins this. It would be bad for every smartphone user on the planet. Including iPhone users. If you love your phone and tech innovation. You should be hoping Samsung wins, even if you have an iPhone.

Perfectly demonstrating the truth of the "Microsoft org chart" cartoon. https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

I'm curious to hear more about your take on why the culture change could be a mistake. From speaking to a couple of long-timers at Microsoft, while they didn't seem to have complaints under Ballmer, they did seem to welcome some aspects of Satya's culture change, specifically how it had become much more collaborative internally. To me, that seemed like a fix for the internal dynamics at MSFT depicted in that popular comic about Big Tech org-charts: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

There was that comic about org charts a decade ago: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts The reality is that the Microsoft style of organization is very prominent in the industry.

if this cartoon [1] is a reliable source, then maybe it's not (or possibly didn't used to be) such a strange thing at facebook [1] https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

Uncharitable take warning. My bet is on a PM thinking: "Surely if the project has Windows in its name we can't get laid off". Also: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

Fediverse is essentially like the old Microsoft organization chart. So the symbol needs either guns or at least division lines. https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

You have to understand that Windows comes from a separate division than .NET and they have no overlap. Microsoft isn't a cohesive company. .NET comes from the developer division (DevDiv) and UWP comes from the Windows division (now Server & Cloud). The Windows folks always hated .NET and the developer division has been lukewarm about UWP. The Microsoft panel of this comic sums it up nicely: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

The microsoft org chart comes to mind: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

The org chart comic from its original source, instead of a random reupload captioned in Spanish and heavy on the image artifacts: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

On that topic, https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

In a similar vein, I thought of the comic on how software companies are organized. https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

Apple's system strikes an interesting contrast to Google's system for naming products, documented at [1]. [1] https://bonkersworld.net/naming-dartboard

Reminds me of 1st image of https://bonkersworld.net/guns-and-roses

Please try to find the original (in this case, it's from Manu Cornet's webseries Bonkers World: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts)

That might be due to https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts (I know it's a joke and the drawing is getting old, but it still rings somewhat true).

So this organizational chart is accurate? https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts

Found the (much more readable) original after some search: https://bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts
