One of my favorite articles posted here for this year, it's a great read and really gives you an idea of just how dysfunctional azure is.

Azure's going to suffocate github. I'm curious to see what's next. Will self-hosting the code repository come back in vogue or will another social-coding platform take off?

Keep in mind the seniority of the author. This was not written by a staff+ engineer.

Right.

I'd like to think that Azure has improved in a meaningful way in the past half a decade or so... but it has not. Maybe less inexplicable 400 errors in random API calls, I guess.

And yet Microsoft keeps posting record growth. Unbelievable.
