They did that to themselves, and doubly so. They decided they needed to capture the whole open source ecosystem by turning open source work into social networking... on a proprietary platform (because open source is great, especially when it's others' software). That was before they joined Microsoft. And then Microsoft pushed AI everywhere, including on GitHub itself with copilot. I would have liked if they had left the open source projects alone and didn't create that FOMO for not using them. I have no sympathy. | ||

> And then Microsoft pushed AI everywhere, including on GitHub itself with copilot. Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I like AI. I work for an AI company. Still, Microsoft aggressively pushed GitHub users toward Copilot. They don't get to do that and complain about increased volume from AI-generated changes. No Copilot + reasonable operation: the way things were Copilot + reasonable operation: Well done! No Copilot + being overwhelmed by AI commits: Sympathy. Copilot + being overwhelmed by AI commits: "Where did that petard come from that's hoisting us?" | ||
