I would like to agree here, but to emphasise "discipline" being an organisational not individual issue. Given that there are certainly competent emgineers at MSFT and most could carve out a week of coding without anyone noticing, what is missing is high level organisational insistence on good professional discipline - and it's so easy to just let that slip.

For example a comment earlier mentioned the chat feature is broken but they rushed out video background changes. This of course is a response to zoom - and it's possible to argue it's a strategic necessity - but it suggest the top level product management is blowing around in internally company winds rather than user needs.
