Why do people need to create anthropomorphising narratives around companies? Don't be any company's cheerleader, use the stuff that's best for you (and the environment)

I built my career on MSFT stack I am going to be their cheerleader, don't want them to go down or stagnate as I would have to switch stack.

I don't understand people who are just consumers and have no actual business to root for MSFT or AAPL or any other company.

    They're not just consumers, they're actual engineers. People who simp for companies like MS are just acolytes in developer's clothing.

    If you only know one stack from one company, then you built your career on esoteric, arbitrary knowledge. Not on engineering things.

Agreed, but apparently company cheerleadering never goes away.

  • The same way cheerleading USA presidents doesn't go away, but if you look around you see things like Switzerland with direct democracy that just works without it.

Is he creating or is he relating what people think? I don't see this is him arguing so much as reporting.
