Nah dawg, I'll pass. /s
I think it's reasonable to be sceptic towards a guy who:
- sells you a product (Copilot) that depends on him selling you the story that LLMs are the future
- has a lot of vested interest in Microsoft's bet on LLMs to succeed
On his own platform developers that I much more look up to have gone the other direction and have disabled AI PRs and/or bug bounties on their repos:
- Daniel Stenberg (curl) https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/15/curl_creator_mulls_nixing_bug/ https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/15/curl_creator_mulls_ni...
- Linus (linux) https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/29/linus_torvalds_ai_hype/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/29/linus_torvalds_ai_hyp...
- or socket.dev's quest to prevent copilot generated PRs (https://socket.dev/blog/oss-maintainers-demand-ability-to-block-copilot-generated-issues-and-prs https://socket.dev/blog/oss-maintainers-demand-ability-to-bl...) this might have struck a nerve
So who should I believe? A guy who I've never heard the name of (apparently the Github CEO's name is Thomas Dohmke, I just learned), or a bunch of legends whose tools I have been using since a child?
No to slop! Down with slop.
