What's a PR?

I hope its not project, as in I installed something from git and suddenly I have desktop ads.

Microsoft is half a century old, it came onto the scene when I was a kid, and I can't remember anything it's ever done past its first year of existence that wasn't shitty in some form or other. The mind boggles...

...a team member used the AI to fix a simple typo in a pull request.

A little beside the point, but why on earth would you use copilot to fix "a simple typo?"

Just the phrase "fix my typo" contains about 10 more characters than a typical "simple typo".

Maybe there's some context I'm missing, but I get the impression that the people using these chatbots every day just have their brains melted. Like even the most rudimentary task becomes daunting without the help of their little bullshit machine.

Update: Microsoft decided to stop injecting ads. Let's see how long that lasts.
