I wonder what engineers working on vscode and wsl feel when they run into people working on OS monetization in the company restaurant...

What do you need to say in your interview to be assigned to the latter team?

What do they feel? What about being thankful for being a revenue stream, it allows us to work on more free (as in beer) and open source developer tools

It's almost like paying for an operating system should somehow be the payment itself.

I'm not saying that this is a good revenue model nor that I support it.

I'm saying that employees of a company probably don't antagonize the others like that.

Seems similar to being thankful that the mafia’s criminal acts help fund its philanthropy in the community.
