  Get them working on interesting projects building things customers/users/peers will value.

    > building things customers/users/peers will value. AI. Customers want AI, users want AI, peers want AI. If anyone says otherwise, they’re a Luddite and possibly a dangerous political radical.

      I'm no longer at MSFT, but according to the people that are, the leadership is straight up saying that anyone who doesn't like AI coding has no place in the company now.

        Unfortunely, they are making people like myself, that in general tend to have comments more pro-Windows, starting to consider the alternatives yet again. Even .NET and C++ tooling getting spoiled with AI no matter what, see latest set of DevBlog announcements.
