Apart the "I have a hammer so everything looks like a nail" mentality, he sounds a little too condescending. The right follow up would be "then why are you doing W11"

I’m a React developer
Does this sound insane to anyone else ? I’m not a something developer, I choose technologies appropriate for the application.
React Native would never be a choice on my list, but even so, it has a use case : making cross-platform applications with web technologies.
You know what doesn’t need either cross-platform or web technologies ? The start menu on Windows 🤦🏻♀️
i'm a python "developer" because that's the only thing i can somewhat reliably manage to get stuff working in in less than a day
so if someone say's they're an XYZ developer i'd just assume that's basically the only thing they can wrap their head around
Well it does if you want to serve live ads
Yes. I'm proficient in React, Vue, Angular, C#, Python, Node, Go, blah blah blah blah. I hate React Native (that's beside the point).
I would never say I'm an developer, that sounds dumb and restrictive. It is also really job-limiting which is not so great this day and age and is really about to get worse.
Year 2086: JavaScript devs form a new country with a country code JS so that they can register .js domains.
Year 3019: There.js is.js no.js escape.js
Id host so much malicious code at that tld. Can you imagine the amount of people who would just copy directly from the first page they see?
I just asked a friend of mine that's former Microsoft from back in the day.
He said he was checking out telemetry and stuff from start menu errors. Said he saw 100+ function deep stack traces and that it was an IE WebView.
Sounds like the stuff on nightmares
This hurts. This hurts so bad.
At minimum the Bing previews built in definitely calls a web view...
The only way I can use WIndows 10 and 11 is with open shell installed. The built-in menu is completely dysfunctional. No shortcuts to my computer, or printers, or the control panel. The search bar doesn't work and can't find files that I know exist and can browse to in windows explorer. Whoever made this doesn't have a clue how to make a functional user interface. It's completely broken and useless.
Windows UI peaked with Windows 7. I don't care if the backend works better in 10 or 11. I would still be using 7 if I wasn't forced to upgrade to use Steam and play the latest games.
XP was their last truly robust OS, it could run on almost anything and had such minimal requirements.
Windows 7 was the dream that they wanted to deliver with Vista. Win 7 was definitely their last top tier OS, especially when it came to games.
Once they remake XP as a Linux distro I'll be happy. Untill then I'm forced to use win 10 ltsc iot to keep my computer running as it is safely. Maybe SteamOS will become a good desktop distro in the future instead, thatd be nice too.
What you don't just have shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A memorized??
No wonder it takes 20% CPU when you open the start menu.
while looking into this online, i found this masterpiece windows11-react
Why
WHY NOT? Why not just waste a week of your life creating a react project just to coverup your insecurities of how incompetent you are. Just Why not!
At least they're self aware.
my web page blue screened. It is awesome that I can back arrow out of a blue screen. Server may not do so well.

Is this real thread?
Yes, it is. I have no idea if the guy is telling the truth though, about being the guy responsible. Unfortunate that he shares a name with the Ubisoft executive.
EDIT: Alright, looking at the rest of his responses, he has got to just be a random guy, joking around, hahaha.
It's a little disturbing to me that most people didn't seem to ask this question. Like I get believing everything about W11 is shitty, but how do you ignore the tone of the replies in the post? And yes I know there are people who struggle with tone, etc, etc. But it's not like that's 95% of the users here. Occam's razor leads me to believe people are mostly just gullible especially when confirmation bias is a factor.
I'm being honest here, I've done things like this at prior jobs. It was mostly a reflection of unfortunate business decisions than personal preference or skill set, per se.
If my raises and promotions are contingent on me achieving a goal like "use a reactive JavaScript framework in public facing component" or "develop an application in NodeJS", then you better believe I'm going to do both of those things regardless of whether the right project comes my way or not. I will find a way. Q3 comes around and I haven't been given an appropriate project to achieve my goals? Yes, I'm absolutely going to integrate an LLM component into the project search function of our business reporting system so I can check off the arbitrary "AI" goal I needed to complete in order to qualify for the top tier raise percentage.
This reads dystopian to me.
When your daily quests don't line up with the story but you make it work anyway.
That...made me feel kind of sad actually.
You joke but my UI is written in TypeScript: https://github.com/Aylur/astal
Granted it wraps mostly compiled code.
