Honestly, I would screen potential employers by whether they are a Microsoft shop or not. Fuck ‘em.

nice to have that sort of freedom, since the majority of companies use some Microsoft products

i thought the same, but now working at a place using google/slack/zoom isn’t much better. pretty much all corporate software is feature creep bloated slop these days.

Literally zero problems with slack and goog (at corpo). Security opted out of AI shit and that was it.
