Technology company. Panel observation: Microsoft has shifted from being the web developer's 'bad guy' under Ballmer to a 'good guy' under current leadership (transcribed as 'this India guy' — referring to Satya Nadella). Evidence cited: promoting TypeScript, rebuilding LinkedIn on Ember, using MobX for the new Outlook, asking Yehuda Katz to work on LinkedIn performance, and committing to far more PWA support in the next Windows release.
