How is this relevant here?

That radio button is broken.


Minor nuance, the radio button itself seems to work. My guess is what's happening is they're only initializing the UI state when you first interact with it, which blows away the radio button state.

Normally radio buttons can't start fully uninitialized like that, so I assume that's the real bug.


"Radio button broken" =/= "Microsoft broken"


I really enjoy using GitHub, TypeScript, and VS Code. These are some my most favorite tools.

But Azure DevOps and Microsoft Teams make me think that the Microsoft engineers working on these products absolutely don't care and they probably don't need to care, and the companies using these products also don't care.

Popularity and dominance are criteria for success. Their success, but not necessarily your success. If the product is by Microsoft you have to look more than twice if it's a good product or if it's close to self-sabotage when you use it.
