It’s classic Microsoft FUD. The whole idea you can be left behind is ridiculous as the entire goal is to replace the developer. Yes, I already know how to review code. That’s exactly why I’m not adopting these, not even junior level, tools at this stage.
Even if they get better then we just stagnate on new ideas and innovations? Oh, super intelligence will solve that and be able to think and reason? if that’s the case, why are any people still needed in this process? It seems like the threats of being obsolete is contradictory to their stated goals.
Until I see a vast improvement in code quality, devsec principles and code analysis, I will continue to treat AI as a modestly better code generator.
Same, and I will rigorously validate anything and everything we use it for in my work.
Microsoft doing Microsoft things…
On June 4, 2018, Microsoft announced its intent to acquire GitHub for US$7.5 billion (~$8.96 billion in 2023). The deal closed on October 26, 2018.[45] GitHub continued to operate independently as a community, platform and business.[46] Under Microsoft, the service was led by Xamarin’s Nat Friedman, reporting to Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft Cloud and AI. Friedman resigned November 3, 2021, and was replaced by Thomas Dohmke.[47]
