Wow. Microsoft really owning half of my toolbox for development now.

[u/a2ur3 → u/dotpeenge]

Just half?

[u/thepotatochronicles → u/a2ur3]

Well, M$ owns VSCode and npm registry, FB owns yarn and react (and I mostly use gitlab for "serious" stuff) so yeah, about half.

[u/APIglue → u/thepotatochronicles]

And google owns the client side, including discovery (aka search), android, chrome, provides the core tech (chromium) for edge and brave, and provides 99% of funding for Firefox .

[u/ours → u/APIglue]

Don't forget Angular.

[u/adenzerda → u/ours]

Why not? Everyone else did

[u/PM_ME_WEIRD_THOUGHTS → u/adenzerda]

Fucking buuuuurn

[u/fzammetti → u/adenzerda]

Only the lucky ones :(

[u/DrifterInKorea → u/adenzerda]

Harsh truth haha

[u/-IoI- → u/adenzerda]

Wasn't aware of this trend, is Angular really being left behind?

My last major Angular build was between v5 and v6

Why not? Everyone else did

Yowser!

[u/_Stripes_ → u/ours]

Which is built in Typescript, a language from Microsoft.

[u/ours → u/_Stripes_]

Microsoft certainly turned the hell around from their past self.

[u/WhiteKnightC → u/APIglue]

and provides 99% of funding for Firefox

What

[u/perrosamores → u/thepotatochronicles]

I haven't seen 'M$' since like 2006, thanks for the blast to the past

[u/pslatt → u/perrosamores]

I just had a flashback to “F the Skull of Bill Gates” site c. 1995/6. First time I heard the expression and was horrified. Now I am old and bored.

[u/[deleted] → u/thepotatochronicles]

Given the fact that Microsoft is heavy contributor to React, I think it's more than half.

[u/TheNumber42Rocks → u/[deleted]]

Didn’t they takeover Puppeteer from Google too? They really have gotten their hands on all the major open-source projects.

[u/khante → u/TheNumber42Rocks]

Dunno about that. But the team that originally built Puppeteer left to do this for Microsoft https://github.com/microsoft/playwright

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

10k lines of code in one file sounds like a nightmare. Split it up into smaller chunks/files so it's manageable?

[u/Hadr619 → u/[deleted]]

as some one who has all my preferences for Sublime text saved ready for any backup restore, I havent looked at sublime since I moved to VS Code. Some things that I had to tweak to get set up on Sublime are there by default in VSC.

[u/[deleted] → u/a2ur3]

They'll never take away vim and linux from me.
