Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

  Then I’m reliant on my current workplace rather than figuring out a consistent way to code at work, outside of work and at any other future workplace.

  Don’t want to have to get used to one kind of workflow to then not being able to use it in another setting.

    Use the free Rider for home and ask any new employer for a commercial license. It’s a pretty mainstream piece of software. There’s really no reason an employer should force you to use Visual Studio.

    For those times I need Microsoft tools, I keep a Windows VM handy on my Linux PC. I feel much better keeping Windows contained and mostly turned off.

      I’m not being forced to use visual studio. But because of dev ops licenses we get visual studio licenses alongside it so because of that the company isn’t willing (and rightly so in my opinion) to foot the expensive (for a small company) bill for rider.

      Which is why I’ve landed on vs code.
