Not spending on maintenance is bad.

Not spending on maintenance and spending gobs on something many people don’t want is far worse. It says we have the money, we just don’t give a fuck.





The evidence of AI failure is all this low hanging fruit maintenance fixes users are begging Microsoft to fix and these AI agents are not fixing them. AI was going to 10x engineers or something right? Why isn’t GitHub getting better with all this AI help?

Isn't this SOP of Microsoft since forever? Tons of papercuts which really hurt, and tons of features nobody wants?

I think this is the natural outcome of "chasing points" mechanic inside Microsoft.


For my money, the scorpion is halfway across the river and y’all are about to become the frog. I haven’t touched a windows machine in 15 years and I’d really like to continue that streak to the grave. Gaben is working hard to become my new favorite tech person by trying to claw gaming off of the PC. I really hope he wins.
