Microsoft Shows Love To Developers

When Jamie Murai chronicalled his experience about trying to develop apps for Blackberry’s RIM, he was merely a frustrated developer trying to get his point across. Little did he know that it would lead to him being tracked down by Microsofts Brandon Watson ( Microsoft’s Director of Developer Experience for Windows Phone 7) . Brandon Watson, in what can be viewed as a great PR move, found Murai on Twitter and extended an invitation for him to develop for WP7. Watson, in his own blog wrote about the importance of developers. He emphasized that Microsoft is recruiting and that all developers are important, stating “Even if we build the platform one developer at a time, that’s one more developer than we had last week. Every developer matters. Every. Single. One. I effing love my job”. My hat’s off to you Brandon Watson and to you Microsoft for making it known that even the little guy matters.
