I'd say learning things on your own, even if they take time, is still better as you don't have to actively force yourself to develop that mindset. We often rush towards our goal without realizing how important the journey (small steps) is. Isn't reaching the goal more worthwhile if you have enjoyed the journey along the way? Isn't that what it means to be human?
Microsoft has gone so deep down the gutter, it is almost unbelievable. I am waiting for the day their profits start taking a hit due to a collective boycott.
The quality of Office is very rapidly declining; it seems that the entire team has moved to forcing AI into every feature instead of fixing any issues. The web version is barely usable (esp compared to Google's versions) and the desktop is quickly getting worse seemingly every day.
I have not used Azure for a few years now; back when I did use it, it seemed pretty good.
That applies to all teams not only Office, even Aspire now has AI on the dashboard, and they proudly made use of AI building the new Aspire CLI experience.
That’s one of my many reasons for sticking with Mac. I know the bar is higher and I just enjoy the consistency between first party and third party applications.
Well... career-wise I'm currently moving away from being a developer, so the incentive to use a Windows Desktop isn't there any longer. I might take a look at a Mac.
