@kaia That... was not my experience of working at Microsoft.
"network binding order, protocol information, and device properties are so ugly and lame! Let's just hide the button for those, who would possibly need to use any of that? Let's go have ice cream instead!"

@kaia @foolishowl @foolishowl @sj_zero Certainly bait for people who don't know how most thinking people actually get things accomplished.
Note the "Focus Time" section ... in an open office. Back in the day, when Gates was running things, one recruiting advertisement they ran for its picture was simply a closed door. As in, they explained, everyone got their own office, so they could think when they needed to. Office buildings were X shaped etc. etc.
For another example of this sort of thing, see Apple's open office edifice complex new HQ. I've read the head of the chip design part told the higher ups that they were never going to move to that office, no matter how much prestige their job in a hardware company had.
But I never worked for Microsoft or any of those companies and prob never will, so it's hard to say from my perspective.
But all of this is probably advertising for hiring for a potemkin village anyway. Get the beautiful people with the correct attributes working in nice offices where they barely do any work ever, so then you can point to them when the komissar comes around.
some people are expected to work
some people are expected to not cause problems

I find it helps to know people who have too much money
@kaia
sometimes i barely get hours
sometimes i get too much
Obviously lots of messing about and enjoying the free food, but it seems like she actually did some work
Most jobs are do-nothing paperwork
If they could give you a pod-bed in your office and the "option" to not leave, they would.
there is a difference between teaching kids 3h, answering annoying emails and doing math for 3h. 2 of those are exhaustig, one just sucks
