Following a series of leadership changes recently, Xbox has started officially teasing its next console, codenamed Project Helix, which will play "your Xbox and PC games."
it’s a life changing event getting blacklisted from something like your career goal. I found a more rewarding career path but it still hurts that I was trying to make Microsoft a better company and I was outed for trying to argue that Linux wasn’t going away and Microsoft had to recognize it’s strengths
The last few decades in tech have been a generally abysmal downward arc. I used to envy my friends who got into software early, carved out a niche, and made great money. Now they’re depressed and neurotic, all the money in the world and barely ever happy. Sorry if you thought I was making light of your hardship, humour is just how I cope with my own troubles. I’m glad you found a path forward.
How long can laurels be rested on? Apparently at least 25 years.

the burnout is real, I offered contemplate pushing a broom and cleaning toilets.
I’ve done that, it’s unpleasant but at least only the smell follows you home.
