But not the motivation. GitHub incentives this type of behaviour, they push you to use their LLMs.

GitHub is under Microsoft’s AI division.

Finally an explanation to why GitHub suddenly have way more bugs than usual for the last months (year even?), and seemingly whole UX flows that no longer work.

I don't understand how it happens, do developers not at least load the pages their changes presumable affects? Or is the developers doing 100% vibe-coding for production code? Don't get me wrong, I use LLMs for development too, but not so I can sacrifice quality, that wouldn't make much sense.

I just listened to podcast from a higher echelon MSFT person, the internal orders basically are “focus on AI”, non-AI work gets deprioritized company wide.

But that by itself shouldn't mean that people suddenly don't even review and think what they're doing, right? Again, I too use LLMs for lots of work, yet I'm putting out better code than before, because I'm a software engineer, not a software slopper, is this not the common workflow?

		I wouldn’t be surprised if experienced people left because of policies like this. It doesn’t matter if you are reasonable your colleagues won’t necessarily be.
