30% of new code, or of all existing code?

#42MS Teams is using 1200 MB of RAM when it starts running. Skype for Business used less than 180 MB, same functionality.
Outlook is completely unusable at 1366x768 resolution (which only shows up when you use your laptop while traveling!)
I predict that soon you’ll see some large corporations publicly switching to other solutions; the path MS is on which neglects these kinds of problems, will be a natural progression.

#43No, he doesn't say that. He said that "maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software". A guy like Nadella doesn't accidentally say software instead of AI. He knows exactly what he is saying. Considering that most of their software has been developed for decades and AI assistants have only started becoming useful in the last ~4 years it would…
"I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software".

Very much so. He's plainly pulled those figures out of his arse, keeping it vague so he can't be blamed later for lying, for nothing more than "look how much we use AI" marketing purposes.

Ouch, this makes the headline not sinply inaccurate. It makes the headline false.
Having generated code is nothing new. Multiple companies I worked for in the past had a lot of automatically generated code for multiple things (from automatically generating tests for API contracts to automatically generating glue code between different modules/services).
Callong that "AI" borders on the level of malicious ignorance.

To be fair, Hanlon's razor suggests it was most likely written by someone who _would_ conflate software with AI. Though knowing the reward structures in '''journalism''', it could still be deliberate.

#50I hate Google just as much, but at least their web office suite just works on the rare occasion I need a collaborative document.
