Vissif you think azure is bad now, or ms products are bad now, imagine what happens when all the elder god types still there, who are barely keeping the ship afloat, all take this deal and bounce
Dan Sugalski@Viss As someone planning retirement who would've jumped at the opportunity had Google tossed it at me... yeah, MS is going to have a hilarious time of it for a while.
Seems like an excellent opportunity to shift to not using their products, tbh.
Paul_IPv6i'm betting it's a combination of "they're expensive" and "they keep saying that things we want are stupid or impossible".
at a startup i worked at that eventually became huge, i talked to a "newbie" there about 2 years after i left. his summary: "yeah, i can always tell if it's an old timer because they always describe things as 'fucked'"

Graydon@Taffer @Viss If Mephistopheles manifested out of hell and offered you a serious bet that at no time in the next three years would GitHub start rewriting your code with "AI" without asking you, would you take it?
It should be the case that the only thing causing a second thought in that scenario is the "fiend of hell" part, and trying to remember if they've all got the gift of prophecy. It should in no way be the case that such a thing feels any amount of plausible, and yet.

Every cloud has a silver lining, so while its annoying to have yet more problems with Windows systems, it does mean that it will be easier for Australia and the EU to reduce their dependence on Microsoft going forward.
fuzzyfuzzyfungus@Viss "Those with sales incentive plans cannot participate." so we can expect some full Redmond Rob-level coverage of the no-doubt-glorious agentic regime's ongoing triumphs.
Kluthulhu' XOR 1=1--@Viss and then come back in 1-2 years as even more expensive consultants 🤣
