"I love seeing a document get bigger and bigger, more detailed and with more things written inside."

I love how it's sprinkled with Microspeak as he describes this soul-draining bureaucracy: "cool", "great", "passion", "innovate", "exciting". They're really passionate about meetings, emails, and bigger and bigger documents over at Microsoft.

And on being able to start with a blank page for this spec that he's spending so many hours in meetings and writing emails to put together, rather than having to fill out a form, he says, "I don’t know about you, but I really love this kind of freedom!"




Dude, he's an intern, and he's learning. It makes a lot of sense for him to try and participate in the culture during his short time there. There is always lots of time for cynicism afterwards.
