It gets even worse with azure devops. It tracks which repository/branch/feed/board you looked at last and then shows that one when you go the respective features. Which means that when you copy the url it does not always include your exact location and you need to do dance to switch the repository or branch to another and back in order to get it in the url.

To make it worse ctrl/cmd click for opening it in a new tab doesn’t always work. Sometimes it open the repo you clicked on in a new tab, sometimes it opens a new tab but with your most recent repo, and sometimes it just opens the repo in the current tab. It is infuriating…



The modern web us utterly broken in this sense and the culprit is SPAs. At this point it seems like the road has no return as the new generations of devs will have no idea how the web of even 10 years ago was behaving. Maybe it’ll all come down under it’s own weight one day.


The culprit is bad frontend developers and sometimes design. Nothing wrong with SPAs, and it's not that hard to make them usable.

Azure DevOps is still utterly shit though.


Are there actual use cases where Azure cloud is the right choice?


Azure the cloud and azure dev ops are two separate but integrated things from the same company. DevOps itself runs in azure.

I think there are plenty of reasons to choose Azure Cloud. Maybe Azure Devops flows from that. But it is far from my favourite tool.
