      No that’d be the executives, you dickhead. Hey - please remember to breathe.

      Nah as far as I’m aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They’re mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.

        The way Microsoft products feel they really can.

          I’ve read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn’t a great language. It’s popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.

            Win11 start menu is a react native component.

            Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration. The issue doesn’t occur consistently across all systems, with some users noting it happens in about 50% of clicks.

              I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn’t work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it’s done correctly there.

            It’s popular because it has an insanely low barrier to entry, so that’s what gets taught in schools and boot camps. Then that’s all Jr devs know entering the work force. Companies don’t invest in mentoring juniors and cultivating talent anymore, so as the seniors get poached, retire, or move into later stages of their career, JS is the only skill left.

      The people who make the products shit are probably in leadership, so their jobs are fine. Even if they run the company into the ground, they’ll still be fine with their golden parachutes, already vast wealth, and uncanny ability to fail upward.
