A lot of snark in these comments. Has anyone actually tried it yet?
- SilverElfin 1y agoI’ve seen people discuss these types of approaches on X. To me it looks like the concepts here are already tried and popular - they’re just packaging it up so that people who aren’t as deep in that world can get the same benefits. But I’m not an expert.
- ridruejo 1y agoExactly. I don’t understand the cynicism in the comments and they literally are just trying to make the technology more accessible
- nozzlegear 1y agoThat's a very altruistic outlook on Microsoft's intent with getting everyone to use and depend on AI.
- vachina 1y agoMicrosoft is on a roll, on a roll at repackaging open source efforts and branding them, and then saying they made it.
- otterley 1y agoIsn’t that what every company that sells technology does—build demos and showcase uses in order to provoke the imagination and motivate sales? No company is perfect, but what Microsoft is doing here is hardly unusual.
- username223 1y agoI mean this in the best possible way, but I don't think you're using "altruistic" correctly. Altruism is "showing a selfless concern for the well-being of others." I think you're looking for "naive," and Microsoft is some combination of cynical and manipulative.
- nozzlegear 1y agoGood point, thanks! I meant to say that they were taking an outlook that cast Microsoft's intentions as altruistic when (in my view) the intentions are more along the lines of cynical and manipulative, as you said.

- bgwalter 1y agoThis is like a person who thinks that making a photocopy of an Einstein paper makes him Einstein. You know, Einstein wasn't that special after all and the photocopier affects his fundamental ego.
- Angostura 1y agoYou seem to be assuming that the negative multiplier is on the human side of the equation. There’s your mistake
- milutinovici 1y agoAlternative hypothesis is that you work on trivial problems, and therefore you get a lot of help from LLMs. Have you considered this?
- ramraj07 1y agoIm definitely not creating the next StuxNet for sure. So Ill bow down to whoever is writing the next C compiler I suppose.
- hansmayer 1y agoNothing to do with ego, but you may want to check your own projections, you know how when you speak of the others, you mainly speak of yourself (Jung or Freud, not sure). No need to be bitter about not having the grind and focus to become an engineer yourself, it is after all much harder than say, earning an MBA and you should be OK with whatever you turned out to be. Not to mention that the tools themselves, were in fact built by engineers and not by the "rest of the population", like yourself. Now having said that, I am early adopter myself, was happy to pay the premium costs for my entire company, if the tool was any kind of amplifier. But the crap just does not work. Recently the quality is degrading so much that we simply reduced it to using it for simple consultation - and we only do it because unfortunately the search has been ruined. Otherwise most of the folks both internally and externally that I know using these tools would be happy to just go back to google search and SO. Unfortunately that's not an option. Also see if your second argument makes any sense at all. Maybe it comes out of a lacking math background? Firstly, you don't need two zeroes to get a zero out at the end of the multiplication. And secondly, if an average engineer is a zero, what are folks like you then? But again, it maybe just your own projections...

- hansmayer 1y agoI think most of us are irritated by the constant A/B Testing and underwhelming releases. Lets just have the bubble pop so we can solve real problems instead of this.
- fishmicrowaver 1y agoHehe suddenly many people will have the real problem of paying bills unfortunately
- hansmayer 1y agoThey will, especially when it comes to paying back the VCs all the burnt GenAI-dollars
- Incipient 1y agoI'm super confused how anyone can actually afford to pay per token for llms to actually do dev. I tried it with a feature, took about 10 minutes and a lot of iterations, and would easily have used hundreds of thousands of tokens. Doing this 20, 30 times a day would be crazy expensive.
- rs186 1y agoThe repo is full of big AI words without any metrics/benchmark. People are correct to question it. If anything, Microsoft needs to show something meaningful to make people believe it's worth trying it out.
- rco8786 1y agoI’m not blaming them. I’m asking if anyone has tried it.
- brazukadev 1y agoWhy didn't you try?
- rco8786 1y agoTime? I’m on a discussion forum. Just wondering if anyone actually tried it out. Not that big a deal
- awy311 1y agoClaude Code is great, this is just a set of tweaks, not really "research". For anyone into vibe coding, there are dozens of interesting video tutorials on customizing Claude Code and running practical jobs, not limited to coding.
