The evolution of SharePoint

After a year of working with SharePoint Online I reflected over what SharePoint have becomed. SharePoint is now a beast. It can almost do anything, except cure cancer. It is almost impossible to be expert of every aspect of the product any more. But new capabilities are not all a good thing. I'm worried that Microsoft have come to a point where the code base have become too much to handle. The fact that Microsoft itself cannot host the product properly any more fuel my thoughts. In my project we have had, in avarage, one severe hosting problem every week. This is not acceptable.

Even though you might be frustrated out of your mind sometimes when working with SharePoint you must always remember that you are not alone. I recalled this little gem on Stack Overflow. The guy is rather bitter, but he have some valid points. Read it and you will feel better! :)

Yet another day in SharePoint paradise...
