This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is my own experience but the past few years Windows has been extremely dependable for me and then in the last few months the updates they’ve have been terrible. I’ve seen more blue screens recently than I have in a lot of years.
All this to say that if it is 30% AI code being used then it’s very telling!
Government spyware finally has a challenger for the title of "primary reason that most Microsoft software runs like hot garbage".
Year of the Linux desktop
(Amusing sidenote: my autocomplete's first suggestion after 'Linux' was 'propaganda'.)
Sure as hell feels like it!
“Written by software” does not inherently mean AI.
Code generators being a prime and ancient example
I vaguely remember talk about companies like Google having software that fixes/writes code and that was ages before LLMs.
Well that explains a lot
So the CEO is trying to tell investors that they are saving money by not paying employees. But to me it sounds more like: we are letting our sub-par products continue to enshitify, and any other company using AI to program will be equal competition.
I think he's trying to say that their AI writes code good enough for Microsoft. Which is a message to other business leaders that your company too can benefit from copilot, just hand over your credit card!
Microsoft has absolutely gotten worse in the consumer space, but that isn't really their business these days.
Good point
We know Microsoft.
Hardly possible not to noticce..
this makes way more sense than hundreds of shitty devs.
this is why I get so much business as a IT consultant lol
Even their AI crashes all the time, its brutal.
Boy am I glad not having to touch their software.
And 100% of their product names are generated by AI. No human would be stupid enough to change something's name for zero reason.

Well, unless you're a product manager at Google apparently... Though with them you're lucky if its just a change of name rather than it becoming an entirely "new" thing, or just getting outright axed...
Yikes
50% of my code is written by Intellisense...
