Say what? Microsoft leveraging competitor AWS cloud to host GitHub.

Surges in development activity on GitHub tied to AI coding tools require Microsoft to quickly add capacity. Commits on GitHub are on pace to reach 14B in 2026, compared with 1B in 2025. The longer term plan is to migrate Github to Azure cloud by 2027 https://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/news/microsoft-aws-github-capacity-azure-lawsuit/ #Microsoft #AWS #Azure #Cloud #GitHub #Coders #Software #Developers #Repo #AI #AICoding #Competition

The best things are the things we make collectively. Join our code circle and let's make the music ecosystem we *really* want. ⌨️🐦‍⬛

I read today how some #software engineers, #coders, #developers are being forced to use #AI in their work. They complain it is eroding their skills. That is often the case with almost any tool that is designed for speed rather than quality. The article makes a good case.

My questions are about AI and software defects, specifically:

1. Do AI tools contribute to better quality software requirements in any way?

2. Does using #AI add defects to the code? If yes, more or fewer than a skilled engineer? More or fewer defects than reused code of any type?

3. Is AI being used to select, plan, or execute the suite of testing procedures appropriate for the software (at any level, i.e., component, unit, or system)? I know this can be a challenge, even for skilled test engineers, because there are so many kinds of tests and tools involved.

Defects can be added or found at any stage of software development. No software of more than trivial complexity is defect free, but good software engineering practice helps drive them out. The earlier they are found, the easier and cheaper they are to correct. The cost of fixing defects late in development can be 100x greater.

I've created a profane bash script that auto marks your code and text files every 10,000 characters using the #Geany IDE. So its easier to copy and paste code/text into a certain AI model for debugging purposes. #gamdev #writers #gdscript #coders #linux

last year I had serious "fight" on our national demo scene coders discord server over AI and most of the folks were strongly against-AI, relying on myths and fears when they described their disagreements.

I left the server for couple of months to chill and focus on the future not some people who are bound to the past.

6 months later after come back.. I see all of them discussing how to use `claude` or `codex` in terminal and IDE integrated environments with best outcomes and we're all together sharing best practices learnt from AI-augmented software engineering.
