- esafak 6mo agoYes, that good old high quality code Microsoft is famous for.
- sirwhinesalot 6mo agoThere is good quality stuff at Microsoft, it's just on some of the innards. NT Kernel, Direct3D, .NET Runtime. Also a lot of stuff that came out of Microsoft Research like Z3. Which also happen to be the sort of projects older devs would normally be working on.
- cromka 6mo agoThat was exactly my point. Old C++ Microsoft was good. New Electron Microsoft is shite.
- daemin 6mo agoThat makes sense that if they want to move the company to have only AI actually write code then offer retirement to people that resist this directive. Though based on the headlines that I've seen regarding Azure development I'm not confident that they would end up in a better place if this ends up happening. But maybe who knows, they might open source the NT kernel as there will be nobody left to maintain it within Microsoft.
