Nobody believes they didn’t use AI. They just don’t want to explain how much they used it.
Fuck it. Back to windows ten.
Why did Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella say back in April that as much as 30% of the company’s code is now written by AI then?? [https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/satya-nadella-says-as-much-as-30percent-of-microsoft-code-is-written-by-ai.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/satya-nadella-says-as-much-as-30percent-of-microsoft-code-is-written-by-ai.html)
they put copilot into everything, they have the worlds first agentic AI operating system, and they are mandating the use of AI across the stack.
Why lie about this – they should be bragging that this is the sum result of the billions of dollars of investment into AI.
Unless of course AI is a total scam and nobody should be using it for reliable code or other work product.
Which one is it? Is AI ground breaking and absolutely used for everything, or is it spewing trash and burning our planet in data centers?
The engineer’s post was fine: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/galenh_principal-software-engineer-coreai-microsoft-activity-7407863239289729024-WTzf/
It’s very clearly, „I’m at Microsoft’s research lab and I’m looking for a new hire. This is the research project we’re working on and the culture we’re cultivating.“
It was shitty journalism that caused the outrage. Well beyond „reading between the lines“. This was whole cloth clickbait manufacturing.
Lmfao you should see what happens when I let the best consumer AI coding tool on earth write more than a couple thousand lines without checkpoints.
No fucking way one guy is just generating a million lines of clean and useable production code in one month.
I deny it too, not because Microsoft is a good honest business, but because LOL yeah fuckin right
The latest monthly security patch won’t even properly install on my PC thanks to their shitty AI coding that makes it look in the wrong place for the update so it fails the actual install.
Satya Nadella has been spewing bullshit since his first day as CEO
Yesterday my gf said a Windows 11 update broke audio on her relatively new laptop. I told her to get used to it because that’s the new norm at Microsoft.
Microsoft is such a weird company. It really should be more than one company by this point. I mean I don’t really see how the consumer side of the company, the infrastructure side (Azure) and all of the other business-oriented stuff relate to each other.
I mean, Windows „won.“ It is the defacto OS of all PCs. All countries, governments, office users, home users use Microsoft Windows. It is a commodity and a base line. There is no „growth“ from here. Just a gradual demise, criticism and being resented for any changes and „moves“ to gain „business“ from an already super-dominant position.
Mind you, Microsoft got there by really ugly means and has mostly done shit stuff to the industry and the users to get there.
No one believes any of these corpo assholes anymore. I’m taking about MS, not the engineer. Their credibility is gone.
I don’t know why people are making a fuss.
If Microsoft choose to use AI or not, is none of our business.
If they Fubar their product by doing this, and every indication seems to show that this is the case, that will be their problem to own.
No doubt Satya will be getting a golden parachute when this all shakes out.
One million lines? Who adequately reviewed that? No one.
Microsoft is way past its sell-by date and it will be nothing more than a temporary inconvenience if they just went out of business. I see that they are trying really hard, but not succeeding at that – yet. Hopefully soon.
As a senior software engineer who has worked with big names and on many different kinds of projects across 10 different programming languages. Any developer pushing that volume of code is highly suspect and I would require everything they have written be code reviewed. When you write that much, that fast, it is absolutely going to be a spaghetti nightmare. I had a junior who did this, but I wasn’t the one reviewing their work. They got features built super fast and the boss was super happy with her productivity and told the intermediate dev to speed up code reviews. They ended up leaving for another job, but I had to take over the features. It was a complete mess and I had to spend a month completely redoing everything they built. Completely unmaintainable. It’s not the first time either, I took over an entire Windows App project that was built fast by a senior dev who was known to be highly productive. Complete nightmare and again I spent 2 weeks rewriting the entire thing. Never trust „fast“ developers because they most often never think of the big picture of architectural design or maintainability, and they „just make it work“.
I have also personally witnessed how AI generates that same kind of messy, un maintainable code constantly. I’ll use AI as a means to look up how to do a thing. If it’s a simple answer, it’ll be fairly concise and usable, but if the answer is at all complicated, the code it produces is 9/10 I complete mess. It often works as a copy+paste, but is not maintainable and I just use it as a source of insight to completely write it myself.
Guys the people accused of doing it say „NUH UH“ so stories over everyone they clearly didn’t do this /s
They will just call the rewritten version „Windows 12 Copilot AI Max“.
So in the post one engineer is using AI to write a million lines of code in a month? The engineer is no longer able to review the volume of code. He’s there to get the blame when the code blows up.
Abominable company. Avoid Windows if you can, which is not so difficult nowadays
That post reads like it was written by AI. Is HAL alive and well at Microsoft?
Another clickbait shit article responding to what was obviously a clickbait shit article based on asinine social media drivel.
Yo I am never „upgrading“. Windows 7 or 10 for me.
Explains why Windows11 sucks ass
This is why windows got worst each fucking second… They have no pride to what they did only cheap botch programming and shit service
I do some work for them and HR told him to change it on LinkedIn or else he’s in trouble
is this why lots of things gave broken recently ? eg ccleaner will not open on windows 11 , whatsapp will not open on win11 , i used them for years with no problem but in the last month or so some apps can not be used
Feeling cute might install Mint Linux later today.
Most people haven’t been following this closely, but apparently [Nadella is pushing with a fanatic zeal for Microsoft to use AI for everythin](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-copilot/ai-isnt-optional-at-microsoft-but-almost-no-one-is-using-copilot)g. He met with Microsoft higher ups recently and demanded that they use AI to increase their productivity saying that AI was going to be bigger than the internet.
I suspect this LinkedIn post is from a high up at Microsoft who knows how to politick and is doing exactly what Nadella asked for. Less shrewdly, he may also be a true believer. There are plenty of those wackos at high up places at major tech companies.
Totally out of the loop. Why is this post controversial?
Either ai(greed) or incompetence.
I feel bad for who ever posted the original LinkedIn post. It sounds like they had some research project to try and cross write code between languages.
I can hear the VP or exec above this person saying “that’s cool but make it sexy”. Combine that with the a need to moon shot validate all the AI spend they are doing and you get an engine saying “ok I guess let’s think about the craziest thing this could do “ and writing this post.
Then the internet loses their mind and now this person and executives are on a walk back tour.
What does „one million code“ mean?
How many times can the phrase „top level Microsoft engineer“ be used in a single post?
MS consumer desktop software is basically garbage these days and seems to be getting worse with each cumulative update.
How much is “one million code”?
I dunno about there being outrage, but I’m glad it was cleared up that this was just a technologist at MS spouting off instead of an actual goal.
You can be sure something is true once it has been officially denied.
“…CEO Satya Nadella proudly claims that 30% of the company’s code was written by AI..”
Now I understand why windows 11 is so shitty and bugged.
