  • If I were a better developer, would I have worked on more products people love? No

    There you go, justify your shitty work.

    If you were a better person, you would work on better products.

    You choose where you work and what you work on. The fact that you went from Zendesk working on a shitty product to Microsoft working on a shitty product is definitely about you.

    In fact, a reliable engineer ought to be comfortable working on products people hate, because engineers work for the company, not for users.
