My app, Quotable, uses Azure if you were curious about perf. Works great!

Hey HN, a few months ago I realized that my phone’s photo library was filling up with pictures of book quotes that I wanted to share and look back on. It’s hard to organize these and writing down every quote is too time consuming. I decided to build a solution that allows you to scan/save/share quotes using OCR. It’s super simple - no bells and whistles - but (I’d like to think) it just works. Let me know what you think!

As someone joining Windows and Devices group out of college this summer, should I expect this to affect me?

Hey John, I work at MS too and welcome! As for how this may impact you, you should speak with your recruiter and connect with your hiring manager. Please do not hesitate to ask.

Personal experience differ, but here's my story. When I joined MS 9 years ago it was in the midst of the big layoffs, and my recruiter reached out immediately after news broke and made sure that everything is still in place and I am still due to start in the summer after my graduation, and I've been happily working here since.

Good luck!

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience! I’ll reach out to them if I don’t hear anything. Looking forward to joining you all!!
