Microsoft MVP's don't know everything and are not always right.

Research in what? The Win NT kernel? Can you dtrace it? No. Can you containerize it? No. Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. I just mentioned about 80% of Internet traffic. Do they use an MS stack? No. So the only foolish thing is you realising you are a pro on the wrong stack. Sorry.

I'm not really sure what you're try to prove here. The reference to MVP here was to do with software development, it has nothing to do with server administration. FYI there is containers on windows , you may want to do some reading before looking like an ignorant moron. Also I'm not tied to the MS stack as you assume, I've done development on several different platforms.

So yeah you do look foolish, your little psychotic outburst clearly shows some form of anxiety disorder, why don't you find your inner zen and go configure a Linux kernel.

Stackoverflow? Lol.

MVP's cannot be MS employees that's the requirement. Yes they are recommended professionals and they know their domain really well.

They normally do talks and have blogs that cover a lot in their chosen technology.

Some MVPs do end up working at MS and become evangelists.

Probably meet one and have a chat would with them, they are always willing to help.

MS lists them by region and technology on their site.

Moron told me the book I was studying from was mainly for hobbyist programmers.

I dug a little deeper. Turns out that same book forms one of Microsoft's Official MCSD courses.

I ask you to name the MVP and the book.

You sure you could understand through the Indian accent?


Anyway, taking abstraction to the next level I see. Why not go one further and make ALL developers part of the moron class.

Personally I always laugh at people who think they can click their way out of a production problem. Linux is for the big boys who want to push 10000 tps on a 2 core server after cracking open the kernel.

It is very easy for a Baboon to point out how badly a Zebra climbs tree's.

Netflix/Youtube/Facebook/Twitter do use the MS Stack in some portions of their business, because unlike the picture you are trying to present, these companies are intelligent enough to use the Best of breed for specific solutions. Just like MS uses open source stuff when it is the RIGHT solution.

We know, it's no secret.

They are specialists in tinkering around with the latest tech and ideas in a sandbox environment, great at talking about it and spreading awareness.

Ask them to come and implement this new awesomsauce in an existing code base with a few years' worth of fluff and...Nothing. Hopeless.

Good old MS advertising. Create a hype. Everybody wants it. And product is ridden with bugs. I've never worked with a development tool with more bugs than Visual Studio.

As far as full blown IDEs go VS is one of the best in my books

I'm curious as to what bugs you're talking about ?

I'd also like to know. In my 12 years of using it professionally, I've never encountered massive bugs. Only one that comes to mind is the XSLT debugger in VS2015, which worked perfectly in VS2013. I've yet to try VS2017 to see if it's been fixed, but I don't use XSLT that often anymore.

It's not bad, there's certainly worse (e.g. Xcode). Biggest counter argument is that IDEs are just far too bloated, which usually means that some essential was sacrificed for the next marketing bauble.

IMO nothing beats lightweight / lag free editors and a terminal session.

Like VS Code with bash terminals docked below the text editor on Mac? Works wonders when doing CLI-heavy dev work like ReactNative.
