I have no doubt Azure sucks, but almost all huge projects like that have systemic issues.

Axel sounds like a pretty smart guy, but wanted to point out I've seen this kind of behavior before, often from mid-level "job-hopping" engineers (sometimes with overly inflated egos) that overconfidently declare everything the organization is doing is BS and they have the magic solution to it.

And yes, sometimes by sending long winded emails to very large internal groups about how their solution will address all the problems if only someone recognize their genius (and eventually give them a VP title and budget). Some of the time, they are well intended but missing crucial historical knowledge about why things are in the state they are and why what they're proposing was tried 5 times before and failed.
