Oh more on this, please!

It certainly starts to feel like they view both of those as actual goals, not stated goals of course.

I have found that Claude Code is better in every way I've used it. I like to use LLM's just as an advanced refactoring tool, especially where plain string search isn't enough. Anyway, my first experience of Copilot was it plainly lying that it deleted files I asked it to, and it insisted the file no longer existed (it did).

The difference between the two is stark.

I think the summary is that "product owner" types and other agile simulacrums wanted it simply because they viewed it as an easy win towards KPI and other performance metrics. The most damning proof of this is Copilot in Notepad, and that half-attempt at renaming the entire Office suite to simply "Copilot" (they seemed to reverse this a few days later).

urgh. What is old is new. "Copilot" is the new omniname, what ".NET" was for a previous generation.

I think that’s a little harsh. When the CEO groupthink network says AI all the things, what are the PMs supposed to do?

I'm hopeful but will wait and see just how much they change. If they remove Copilot from Notepad, I think that would be a reasonable indicator.

That's actually where I thought the article was heading

Does anyone have a mirror? I’m in authoritarian UK so the link is blocked

If you're in the UK in January, you can probably just look outside and that's approximately it.

I wish the UK looked this good.

Have you been to the Barbican?

The rimigo proxy works for me: https://rimgo.vern.cc/a/nFQN5tx

The link is blocked by imgur themselves, not the British government (authoritarian or otherwise), because the ICO was going to fine them for historic poor handling of children's data. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...

What does that even entail? Why does a site like Imgur even need to know which users are children?

Didn't it have user accounts and comments?

It had user accounts and it hosts prodigious amounts of porn, so it ran afoul of the part of the law that says that if you have user accounts and host user-generated content of any sort you have to make sure you're not showing porn to children.

It's annoying, but Imgur really do need to get a handle on things because that's where people host all the CSAM they post into Matrix channels.

Here you go. I had it uploaded after hearing from the magospietato's comment but then saw you talk about the same so I am pasting the same image link here as well

This looks like Rotterdam ten years ago

I read a Reddit comment on the thread for this where they suggested this was only made because of the old "windev vs devdiv" rivalry.

You’re probably right. Seems these appear every couple of years with much hype and then the business behind them conveniently goes out of business.

I learned my lesson with this niche market after CHIP: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Exploring-the...

These clowns didn’t even tell anyone they went out of business, it took someone going to their listed address in person who found the office had been completely gutted to get ready for the next tenant.

I totally agree with this and with the comment above yours in regards to predictability. I don't understand this manufactured FUD the linked article or the low code spreadsheet product in another comment are creating here. It is literally the perfect match.
