How may Windows engineers have you met?
99% of the ones I met and worked with were very, very good.
Don’t confuse maintaining backwards compatibility and managing real concerns of large customers with bad engineering.
you can still be a good engineer and still copy code from stack exchange. i wasn't saying windows engineers are bad
You are saying they don't know how to make code.
have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I'm not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.
