It’s tough inside MSFT, too…
Chris Brumme’s blog. Microsoft senior developer Chris Brumme doesn’t post often to his weblog
often, but every one of his essays is a lengthy, authoritative, and
candidly self-critical exploration of .NET and CLR arcana, the sort of
thing you might expect to read on MSDN (minus the self-criticism, that
is). And in fact, the absence of this material from MSDN is
controversial. Back in June, Dare Obasanjo complained about that. Robert Scoble’s response was:
