People working for Skype (Microsoft), what are the challenges you are working on? I have been a user of Skype for personal use for the last 6 years and I do not see any perceived changes in UX, quality or anything since I used it first 6 years ago(Except for the pending updates popup that are waiting all the time). How do you justify your role as an engineer/product working on Skype? what do you work on?
ms acquired Skype and killed msn is the most stupid things done ever.
Technical debt. They have been trying for years to move away from their p2p architecture.
FaceTime is sooo much better !!
Skype is having a massive identity issue and have been having one since before the MS acquisition... trying to repivot to mobile and away from p2p, plus MSA login took way too long. (For former folks, Jaan's million dollar manifesto is still not done) Numbers are going down and people actually frown upon a brand which was once very much loved. Beyond that, too much internal politics and middle management to show the appearance of being busy... happy that I left
