Former #Microsoft engineer explains why #Windows 'sucks'
#DavePlummer's complaints boil down to two main: desire for hardcore mode that optionally removes all fluffiness added to #operatingsystem for the benefit of non-technical, and combination of transparency and end to 'Microsoft knows best' attitude that plagues recent releases. Engineer suggests that it should be possible to mute #telemetry categories without fear of an update turning them back on in the background.

Ex-#Microsoft employee and former #Windows #developer #DavePlummer (he's the guy that wrote #TaskManager in his spare-time that eventually made its way into Windows) uses #ChatGPT to #VibeCode a replacement for Windows #Notepad that has now become so #enshittified that it's unrecognizable. He doesn't like #CoPilot being shoved into everything either.
