Whether these new helpers that explore ideas on their own are helpful or not, and for which cases, is another discussion.
If this is restoring the entire context (and looking at the source code, it seems like it is just reloading the entire context) how does this not result in an infinite compaction loop?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
No it doesn’t. It’s dead easy to get a decent level, and going further requires individual effort and skill—-just like any other field of endeavor. Gatekeepers who claim otherwise have something to sell.
How can it be gatekeeping when they are literally making it easier to use? The analogy is probably closer to a Linux distro. You can put everything together yourself but if someone gives you a pre integrated environment with best practices it makes it easier to get started

It seems like this discussion is full of shallow dismissals and smug takes though. See the sister comment to yours.
Talking about downvoting also violates the guidelines (meta-discussions are boring and repetitive), so this comment could arguably succumb, haha. If so, it won't be the first or the last time a comment of mine gets poorly received!
Can we get Windows 7 back instead? Nadella rode the cloud wave in an easy upmarket, his "AI" obsession will fail. No one wants this. The Austrian army already switched to LibreOffice for security reasons, we don't need another spyware and code stealing tool.
I would say it’s more the result of anti competitive bundling of cloud things into existing enterprise contracts rather than the wave. Microsoft is far worse than it ever was in the 90s but there’s no semblance of antitrust action in America.
