When I tell the Windows Terminal team something is simple, I am "misguided", being "somewhat combative" and am "impugning the reader". But a year later when they call the exact same thing "trivial", that is just, you know, them writing a blog post: devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/ca

Problem is - now you won't be getting your PhD, after all

I'm kinda not familiar in this topic. What's the Windows Terminal, some new version of cmd.exe? Is the good old command prompt not good enough now?

I was angry enough at first reading this, but noticing it’s the same fucking person writing the comment and the article? Truly Machiavellian behaviour. I just can’t fathom how someone would be so shameless about it.

Afterward, the same dev also used a fake name to hang out on our discord and talk about Windows Terminal without telling anyone who he was. I figured it out and confronted them, and they failed to see anything wrong with that behavior. It's a really special team they have there.

Ask them if they got their PhD for this.

Oh no, you are now a Microsoft community member

Next time, they could use the proper title "known strong-opinion-holder Casey Muratori"

Isn't it great when costumers are able to improve a large corporation's product, making it faster by many orders of magnitude, and they're not given ANY money or credit for that!

I would've at least expected to see your name mentioned in the blog post, "community member." ^^

Oh dude they still haven't gotten their renderer working even in the ballpark of refterm - they're nowhere close.

1. You do have an aggressive/combative tone, and that matters, despite the message being the same. 2. I love it that they named a trivial texture atlas. "AtlasEngine"

. Must now resell to all other MS departments!

did they give you your PHD?

Why do you feel the need to go out of your way and tag them? It's completely unnecessary.

Replying to

First they didn't want to loose faith, so everybody lost their heads. And now it seems like the dust has settled and they've listened. I think you should take it as a win. Although not naming you directly, when they were clearly thinking of you, is kind of disappointing and weak

There was a lot more bad blood after that. It's why the Molly Rocket discord is now private, for example.

I haven't had a native (is that the word?) Windows experience in 15+ years. It has been remote desktop or VM the whole time. And I've always thought the weird terminal slowness was somehow an RDP/network thing 🤦‍♂️

"the use of alpha blending was an absolute nightmare of complexity and unmaintainable. In fact not something that was created on a weekend." I must be missing something here, because the 10x sub-pixel gamma correct glyph blending is a couple of lines in the shader.

People still treat Microsoft as if they're experts or even competent, and anyone who points out that they're not as if they're delusional. They need to update their attitudes for the state the company and its products are in right now.

It's the same problem with many companies and similar with universities (at least in the US). It's credential culture. People assume working at certain names (Google, Facebook etc.) means something in and of itself.

I think they were kind of being sarcastic. Like "it's easy, all we have to do is this! Except wait, fuck , that's pretty hard"

They could at least mention your name after all they did. But that is not part of the moral doctrine these companies preach I guess. So, it's just a "suggestion" by a "community member". Let's pretend there is no reference implementation and a whole set of lectures about it.

Shouldn’t “suggested by a community member” mention the PhD said member now possesses?

as Beavis would say, you are now a "full fledged member" (just a misguided, aggressive, somewhat combative one) corpo-tribalism at its finest

Replying to

Ok maybe *I'm* missing something, but isn't the thing you suggested and they're saying is a doctoral research project's worth of effort something basically all game engines/renderers do out of the box? I.e. caching fonts to a bitmap atlas? Impressive ignorance on display

2

Replying to

that's a bummer. i was quite satisfied with how i thought this whole affair had turned out in the end. with them seeing the light and appologizing for how they had first handeled it. this would have been fine but "suggested by a community member" is a bit revisionist.
