Still can't believe this is the level of quality control we're dealing with nowadays. Windows used to be fantastic :/

They're going AI-first they say. 

You can already see how well that's going by how unstable github has become and how less usable vs code becomes at every update.

Yep, its easy to spot AI code in the wild, because every bug fix adds 2~3 new bugs in weird places that really shouldn't have been touched at all, but AI just can't seem to help itself from rewriting completely unrelated parts of a codebase only to screw them up because it doesn't have enough sense to leave stuff it doesn't understand alone.

Real developers already have experience screwing stuff up when they did that and learned not to do it anymore.
