You have to use Windows, Teams and Copilot; how many people did I just lose?

Wouldn't mind if people at Microsoft actually dogfed themselves Windows. It's as if the designers and PMs all use a Mac and screw up everything.

Windows 11 shipped with a broken task bar, couldn't even ungroup items. No power users was ever involved in this.

		I cant find it, but I think I recall a windows dev tweeting his frustration when they launched windows 11. He was upset because they didnt want to make the design choices they made, and the UI designers forced them to do it because it would modernize the OS and be the next great thing... Does anyone else remember this?

		The first things I install on Windows 11 are OpenShell and ExplorerPatcher to get rid of their crap taskbar and start menu and bring back the Windows 10 taskbar and start menu. What they did with Windows 11 is an abomination.

What does it even mean to use "Copilot" these days?

I use the Github Copilot app at work but it's really just a tool that gives models access to our Github repos and my local clones of them, and it's been super helpful to just tell it to reference other repos for patterns or integrations or whatever, get agents and an orchestrator to look at multiple repos to make a change across several projects and then implement them, etc.

And yeah you can use a selection of whatever model, I was using Opus 4.6 for a while, now I'm on GPT-6 Sol. It's been a very good experience.

		No they won't, only when it makes money, without jeopardising their IP.

i use windows by choice and would personally pay for copilot if the quotas didn't dry up so fast for the cheapest plan. i think the harness is the best for writing and reviewing code.

Well, it's bad, but at least it's not Linux or MacOS, so there's some silver lining.
