LOL 93.73% uptime the last 90days, and that is an IMPROVEMENT - low point was in May this year with 84.31% 90d-uptime.
This is embarrassing. Do they just push everying directly to production without any QA?
They are using Github Copilot to do all their updates/patches
Torvalds was right when he said that coding AI cannot replace competent devs, or you waste more time fixing shit that AI broke than actually doing something productive. The more complex a platform gets, the more relevant is the understanding of the structure to be able to guide the AI.
All this "we replace junior devs with LLMs" it the equivalent to castrating yourself because you can get testosterone injections, with the same result - lack of competent devs in the future.
I'm a game design student. One of my classmates is vibe coding literally everything. Entire monitor dedicated to just asking AI for stuff. Every day it is "I made this thing!" Followed by hours of them blindly fucking with it to try and get the AI to fix it. They're learning almost nothing but occasionally something cool looking pops out and they start bragging about it. They're going to be so fucked the moment anything is bigger than a single system misbehaving in a contained way they won't have even learned the words necessary to start researching the issue
Yeah, like I use AI for debugging but my coworker that left for an AI company was fully doing that and we ended up archiving his MR after he left because it was full of issues down to simple hard coded site values.
Good to see that he is actively removing his virtual genes from the developer gene pool by castrating his growth.
this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github's constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn't know c#.
Ah yes, dogfooding dogshit.
Don't be ridiculous! They're very careful to always write a prompt to QA the code before they write a prompt to push to prod.
Haha, just kidding, they probably just have an agent do the prompting now.
Nein Nines uptime.
microsoft: "93.73 and 90, that's at least two nines right there"
They were the ones that invented LLM assisted coding...
