Watching Microsoft’s robots telling Microsoft’s other robots that they need to agree to Microsoft CLAs in between Microsoft’s developers begging Microsoft’s robots to actually understand the problems they’re trying to fix in Microsoft's platform code on Microsoft's version-control website is kind of amazing.

This is definitely the future Terry Gilliam promised us.

@mhoye This looks really weird. Could you elaborate on what this all means?

@mhoye @dadakopf This is horrible. Like a total moron in the team.
This needs some serious fine-tuning before this gets anywhere near usable.

@n3wjack @mhoye @dadakopf At least team members that could fit that designation wouldn't be pushing these changes to the pull requests.

They might say "I don't know how to do that.", but they won't say "Problem fixed" when it clearly isn't.

@AT1ST @n3wjack @dadakopf If this was an overeager, underskilled intern you'd be having a quiet conversation with their manager using sentences like "growth opportunity" and "understanding their extended impact" and with an shared, unspoken understanding that the kid is on thin ice.

@mhoye @AT1ST @n3wjack @dadakopf The only saving grace here is that AIUI the .NET people specifically signed up for this, so, well, they're getting the dogfooding they wanted.

@kevinriggle @mhoye @AT1ST @dadakopf Yeah, I guess this is what it's mostly about. Dogfooding.
Kind of funny it's out there for all to see though. 😂
