The amount of mental gymnastics to come up with (and justify) this is insane (sh.itjust.works)

His "expert" opinion is quite dated

He wrote task manager. I trust him.

The only Microsoft's app that I used everyday, multiple times a day in the past. Just to avoid the computer from completely crashing.

I watch his videos from time to time, he stays quite up to date when it comes to the underpinnings of modern software engineering. Mind you, just because he retired doesn't mean he stopped tinkering and building. By all accounts he is still poking around in a number of projects and contributes his fair share of expertise. I'm not a fan of him not outright calling out Microsoft for their bullshit, but I do respect the sheer amount of expertise he brings to the table. Calling him out of date, particularly with the level of understanding needed to make something like a task manager, doesn't seem fair.

Really? It seems pretty up to date since he's talking about something that happened in the last year or so.
