My favorite part about the commend that Windows is poor quality software is the part where Satya Nadella bragged about how as much as 30% of windows is written by AI

    I don't even think that 30% figure is true. They're just inflating it to butter up ai investors.

    Microsoft leadership is dogshit but I doubt their devs are.. THAT dogshit...

    No, it could be true. AI—especially with .NET—tends to generate exceptionally verbose code. Especially if you use "AI best practices" such as telling the AI to ensure 100% code coverage. Then there's the, "let's not use any 3rd party libraries, because we are Microsoft" angle.

    .NET is already one of the most absurdly verbose languages (only other widely-used language that's worse is Java). Copilot could easily push it over the top 🤣

    All it would take would be for Microsoft to have AI rewrite some of the core libraries.
