    Describe the abstraction layers of a closed source project in the context of Microsoft

    You can’t, unless you work for Microsoft

    There’s market forces, which is not what you described; rather tooling and nuance specific to software development

    When Microsoft controls the input and outputs, it’s a closed loop affected by Microsoft governance, not random tools, systems or transparent inputs

      I’m a software engineer at a large company you may not have heard of, but you almost certainly know at least one of their brands. Abstraction layers are all over the place; they’re not a symptom of open-source software, they’re a symptom of lots of modern software.
