Naturally, Asha Sharma was in AI before this gig so expect slop games made in India in the future.

I never thought I'd want Steve Ballmer back. Things can always get worse.

Perhaps also a bit of ageism. Always hard to prove. Often implicit.

When people think that tech is a meritocracy and being good means you won't be laid off, show them this.

$2.93 trillion market cap....layoffs

Bizarre incentives we have created

The id Tech engine family is perhaps one of the greatest engine families in the industry, and this move tells me there is no technical leadership at Microsoft. We already knew there was no financial leadership.

So the question is, what's left? Because there's no gameplay leadership either, and that's the whole fucking point.

What does this mean for the future of Doom?!! I hate this. Maybe we should have been sounding such an alarm when Microsoft was buying everyone.

I was fired by microsoft last year, Satya said the layoff was not due to performance reasons and he refused to elaborate what it was. In the job market I had to explain at every interview why I was laid off. People still ask me why I left MS to work at my current less prestigious company when the learn I used to work there and I have to sheepishly repeat the lie I have memorised to make them go away.

Even when I was at MS I saw a culture of always being in firing and hiring mode. They fired people who were perfectly good at their jobs and hired people who needed to be trained and needed higher salaries.

Sorry Satya. I just can't trust MS with my career anymore and I dissuade more people from going there everyday. ¯\(ツ)/¯
