This will be the first big test of Marissa Mayer, to buy a significant property and leverage it without destroying its user base in the process. If Tumblr is rebranded in purple, it will all be over. I wish Yahoo the best in the endeavor, but their track record in acquisitions is not good.
Maybe you just dont care. "Some amount of bullshit" does not include working a shop of 80 developers where you are the only one who speaks english in the office.
"Some amount of bullshit" does not include mostly flat salaries for 10 years across the board.
"Some amount of bullshit" does not mean disappearing health plans
"Some amount of bullshit" does not include your new job (youre a LEAD!) of sitting on the phone trying to talk to a team in India or China who have no idea what they are doing and will get you fired when they dont deliver anything
"Some amount of bullshit" does not include zero job training and the stripping of engineering culture where we train people from the ground up and theres a career path vs companies "only hiring seniors", so they can crap on them
"Some amount of bullshit" does not mean a total breakdown of development discipline in the name of test driven development, scrum, lack of design, phony QA cycles and end results that not even a mother could love.
This is supposed to be a profession. It is barely any longer what I would call a profession.
When you put a link into any MS service, MS proxies it, just like google proxies your clicks on a search link.
If you dont want MS having access to things you access, dont use their stuff.
Personally, I think its anti-web and anti-user to do this, as URL rewriting for the purposes of tracking and storing and analyzing is intrusive and an abuse of the anchor tag that was never intended.
