I just saw an interview w/ Nadella where he said straight up: Open Source takes half of every market, and this will happen with AI.

That’s such a refreshing change from the “DIE OPEN SOURCE DIE” attitude that Gates/Ballmer had.

I also love GitHub, TypeScript, and VSCode. These have become the foundation of my development toolset. That was something Gates did well, and Ballmer gave lip service to (“developers! developers!”) but for me only recently has Microsoft actually been maintaining good quality developer tools again.

That’s where my goodwill comes from anyway.

Google makes a better Office Suite (Gmail, Docs, Maps), ironically. But it’s hard for me to get too excited about that. It’s been pretty stagnant for 10 years.
