Now I understand why at each windows 11 update, they introduce more bugs than ever

Windows hate train looks fun, but as someone who works in the industry, most of that code is probably just unit tests and boilerplate stuff.

Copilot is decent at quickly writing huge amounts of tedious unit test code, requiring minimal tweaks. And since Microsoft works with languages like C# and .NET for their native apps, and likely backend too, there is quite a bit of verbosity that Copilot can take care of.

No real code is AI-generated. He’s just saying shit like this to keep idiot investors happy.

Isn’t that the problem tho. He’s the CEO of Microsoft which is supposed to be a bight end technology firm saying bullshit

Operations are one thing, but investors are another. The latter don’t know the sector, but they want profits.

So you have to convince them not to interfere with your activities, because they can make things worse.

I appreciate this explanation. But it doesn’t make it right, does it?
