He is right though.
Why do you think Windows was so common in companies (on the server side) in Europe at least.
Beside the MS lobbying of course, it lowered the initial entry bar, then you ended up with infrastructure completely fuck’d up.
Yes, at my last client, we still had 2003 servers running because software deployed on it was done on the “click/click, copy this file” way. I pass on the “clustered” windows servers which never worked succeed a freaking failover.
A looooot of tech workers start as tech enthusiasts but have the enthusiasm part of them ground away by the sands of time and toil.
Then they were never in it for the tech… only for the easy payout.
This is the goofiest take I’ve heard in a while.
