alt Hacker NewsLarge corporations like Microsoft under constant pressure from investors are slapping AI onto every single product offering just so they can claim they're an AI company now. Just like what Adobe did. So yeah, that didn't end well and probably this wouldn't either. Consumers are getting tired of these half-assed AI integrations and there will be a breaking point soon.

Microsoft is a publicly traded company. Which investors are causing them to shit up GitHub with AI features nobody wants? In which venues?

The revenue is there and also impressive, and supplanting consumer and seat based revenue
The market is still shedding SaaS multiples, which I think is accurate, but break out the revenue in those quarterly reports and there is a huge growth story, from real efficiencies
I'm done. Moving to Forgejo. It's wonderful and everything works better.
Seriously like everything is instant when you click around, and CI with a runner works beautifully. (The documentation for setting up the runner could be a tad clearer but otherwise everything was so painless.)
