"Build me a SaaS platform exactly like ____"
If agents become as good at long running tasks as we're told they will do by giving Microsoft access to your codebase and inner business processes to give to anyone that wants to the ability to clone your business.
That might end up being inevitable but I see no reason to accelerate that.
- tonyedgecombe 10mo agoI wonder if Microsoft allows its own code to be scanned.
- foxrider 10mo agoProbably not, that would significantly lower the training data quality for any future models
- welcome_dragon 10mo agoHey-o!
- Mic92 10mo agoIt's ok actually. I have read some Windows code. Certainly better commented than Linux and certainly much more readable than glibc.
- morkalork 10mo agoWasn't a whole bunch of the NT source leaked ages ago?
- tonyedgecombe 10mo agoYou just need to look in the DDK (driver development kit) to see what it's like. Hungarian notation everywhere.
- fweimer 10mo agoAt least they are clear about it: It's an editor for open-source AI code. It's not intended to be used for maintaining internal software projects.
- pavon 10mo agoThe most reasonable reading of that description is that VSCode itself is open source, not that it is only intended for editing open source software. Furthermore, nothing in the license suggests that. If that was their intent they were very much not clear about communicating it.
- fweimer 10mo agoBut its license is not open source. It even disallows reverse engineering.
