During the COVID lockdowns a significant percentage of workers, in all industries and not just tech, were forced to find other ways to make a living. What many of them found was that they could make a better living leaving their industries by lowering their stress levels while still making ends meet. Corporate World needs to remember this or they'll continue loosing good people to more human-centered endeavors.

As the pendulum has swung from monoliths to micro-everythings - services, front-ends, you name it - we find ourselves with more "things" to build and maintain. And so it begs the question, who is responsible for what? With great software comes great responsibility

First, own the misuse of a phrase.
Quote: "Begging the question" is a form of logical fallacy in which a statement or claim is assumed to be true without evidence other than the statement or claim itself.

"Until now, the United States space mission extended 22,000 miles above Earth." That way, they can catch all those speeders and drunk orbiters

Astral projection? Broomsticks? 
Seriously, sending unmanned satellites into lunar orbit is not that difficult.

Looking at the languages they talk in the article about MS might be their only non-customer. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Mixed signals on this one. I think Satya informed his windows update team "We need new clear instructions for implementing windows updates in the future"
What they heard "We need nuclear instructions for implementing windows updates in the future" which explains why everything blows up. Just another case of miscommunication. It happens.
