Easy for you to say sitting in your first-world, comfortable house with a job that pays you $250,000 USD a year. Try visiting a third (or even second) world country.

Why on earth would one trade off a short, static unique identifier for a potentially long, dynamic "link" that essentially binds all data to some crappy API that will be outdated in a few years? Is it really _that_ hard to use keys?

This has nothing to do with Microsoft, and instead reads like a blog entry of a narcissistic, selfish young lady. Good riddance.

I think the crazy infighting along Microsoft teams is fairly well known at this point.

Do you know of any recently successful teams that were not built up from entirely new people isolated and protected from the old teams?

The irony is, the same people complaining about 500kb are probably the same people using a 100MB+ terminal emulator built using a web browser (i.e. hyper).

You don't download the entire app every time you change directories like you do navigating between sites in a browser.

If you're sending JavaScript down the line with every request, you're doing it wrong and should give up your career.

When you go to a new website, it doesn't download anything?

NEW website. As in, ONCE and FIRST TIME.

"New Blazing Fast WebGL Engine". Wow really? Major changes - "Emoji support". For fucks sake, seriously?

Am I the only one that doesn't want anything of the following _bull shit_?

* A terminal emulator that is dependent on an entire web browser (not to mention the layers upon layers of bullshit abstractions all to run something from the 70s).

* Support for "emojis" (I mean, come on. It's a _damn terminal_).

* To execute code that can hijack control of my shell from any of the 956 dependencies[1] this _heap of shit_ relies on.
