At least it isn't Bitbucket. I think Atlassian and Microsoft are genuinely in a competition to see who can make worse software and still have customers.

You are right. I overstepped. I changed it to "I feel". I have Claude working on a script to validate or disprove my hypothesis. Thanks for the call-out!

I do understand people's dislike / hatred for AI but I am equally baffled. I feel like the same people that shout "Capitalism sucks, free us from our labor" are the exact same types that hate AI. The exact machine that w
