Why Microsoft must always horribly break all pages during every CMS migration? All links to MSDN blogs on this page are broken. For one of the links they even managed to mangle the link itself, so good luck finding it on web archive. Comments are gone too.
And it's not even limited to blogs, clicking some link in Microsoft docs and getting redirected to main page happens frequently too...
I see it as a sign of the "quantity over quality" trend that has affected the software industry in general. The MSDN->docs.microsoft.com migration was a horrible regression:
I've ranted about its decline a few times on here before, notably this huge fuckup that still remains a year after my original comment (and I noticed it several years back before that --- when they first started destroying MSDN):
Broken links are in heart of Microsoft. Open Event Browser on Windows 10, choose System and click in random message. Click link which lead to support.microsoft.com with detailed message explanation. Should lead. Except it doesn't.
Never heard Windows 10 has reached EoL. Neither Event Viewer. Neither "System" component from Windows 10.
To me it demonstrates that users of Microsoft products are not considered the customer. Developers are not the customer. I have not discovered anybody who is the customer. There might not be one. That is typically a characteristic of a monopoly. ("We don't have to care, we're the phone company!")
At Apple, Steve was the one and only customer. Buyers were invited to bask in his glory, for a price. Now, is there one?
And it's not even limited to blogs, clicking some link in Microsoft docs and getting redirected to main page happens frequently too...
