> Last thing, the final part 6 comes off as really childish, risks to national security and sending letters to the board, really?

That struck me too. Maybe i've never worked high enough in an org (im unclear how highly ranked the author of the piece is) but i've never been in an org where going over your boss's boss's boss's boss's head and writing a letter to the board was likely to go well.

That said, i could easily believe that both Azure is an absolute mess and that the author of the piece was fired because of how he went about things.
