The password icon being invisible is just funny. Some of the other issues are actually problematic, as they may interfere with some workflows. However if you g

  > How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon. Maybe that's the problem? Imagine a Microsoft employee allowed to program only by using a CoPilot prompt, screaming and begging to just apply a patch he already written without touching anything else :D

    This might not be too far from what's happening. In the dotnet repos you can see MS employees constantly fighting it across hundreds of PRs: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637 https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637

      Came for programming, became a shepherd, awesome career.

        Looking that that PR and the interaction with CoPilot I struggle to see how it wouldn't have been easier to simply sidestep the AI.

          After all that noise, the clanker just says it can't do it and the PR is abandoned. I'd say it would have been easier to literally do nothing and have the same result. If a human wrote it, at least there would have been a possibility for learning or growth. This just looks like a waste of time for everyone.

            Noise, credits.

              Maybe if we burn through the budget, the AI mandates will back off a bit?

                Intriguing! Also, what fuzzy stuff?

        Oh man that gave me a good laugh! At one point it basically just keeps responding with >This requires a comprehensive rewrite

      I never laughed so hard from watching a PR's comments.

        Seeing Copilot says this over and over again was hilarious: "The current implementation requires a complete rewrite..."

  > The password icon being invisible is just funny Sometimes the icons in the dock are also invisible. I thought that it was my RDP client playing bad with the server on Windows but eventually I found bug reports about that.

  > How hard is that to fix? My experience with Microsoft fixing bugs in Win 10: at least 6 months. At first they deny it, then, after a fix is issued, they acknoledge it.
