Microsoft's code shack shaken as Redmond chases AI ghosts
"Windows 11's epic habit of trying to corral customers into paid-for Microsoft services just got worse with a low-rent trick. Remote Desktop got a bit more secure, which is good, but in a way that suggests not too much user testing took place."
"GitHub is turning up late and cold. One of GitHub's biggest fans, Hashicorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto, says that the platform is now so unreliable due to daily outages it can't be considered as safe for production."
"GitHub's use to train AI is controversial, but its use to train humans should be noisily celebrated. Open source can claim significance in part because it makes textbooks of techniques and solved problems that anyone can read."
Microsoft's recent week has been marked by negative developments for users, particularly with Windows 11's push towards paid services. Remote Desktop's security improvements suggest inadequate user testing. GitHub faces criticism for its reliance on AI and has introduced rationing due to unsustainable offerings. Daily outages have led to concerns about its reliability for production use. Despite its educational value, GitHub's accessibility issues hinder its potential as a resource for training developers and fostering talent in the digital space.
