Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone? I’ve really grown to appreciate the language itself, but I’m wary of it getting too ingrained at work only to have the rug pulled out from under us when it’s become hard to back out.

Edit: not really “pulling the rug”, but, you know, doing the Microsoft classic.

    Historically speaking they’ve been shitty on all possible sides. Some people take that as “fool me twice, shame on me”.

      Excuse me but I have it from a very reputable source that the saying goes "fool me once…

      Shame on… Shame on you.

      Fool me-- can’t get fooled again"

        I remember that moment. It was like, halfway through the sentence he was like, “I don’t want the world to have a clip of me saying ‘shame on me,’ what do I do…” I wonder if he ever figured it out. Because what you don’t do, is what he did, just kinda stammer and stumble in a much more clippable way.
