NeverMicrosoft

Microsoft Azure, Windows and the Microsoft stack

Years as a certified .NET developer taught me enough: a black box that puts dollars ahead of transparency and developer experience. Only worth a mention if it's 10–100x better.

My bias, stated openly. macOS for work, Linux when needed, never Windows.

Don't use it when

Always, unless it's 10 to 100 times better than the alternative.
