@MikeStok @ferryoons I got told Stories about the code inside Microsoft Office ages ago and it was simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. But also Office has been feature complete for a couple decades and most of the work since then was to keep changing random stuff and adding things nobody wanted because otherwise the product would be solid and mature, and solid mature products don't have exponential revenue growth.

@wordshaper @MikeStok MS software has been more patch than tent for a very long time.
