At no point in time companies were so desperate for developer attention. It feels like the general consensus is it is a “winner takes it all” race, and everyone has to add as many dark patterns as possible to increase stickiness.

#94Is this when you add a commit through VSC or does the editor add some git hook?

#95A lot of bitching about Microsoft here, for something Claude has been doing forever. I have a git hook that rejects any commit containing the line Co-authored by Claude
Are you ashamed of other people finding out you used Claude? I think the co-authored-by bit should not be a setting at all, AI-generated code should be clearly identified.

Please do share
Ask claude to “Write a hook for Claude code that rejects any get commit that includes “co-authored by Claude” in it”

#97"Sent from my iPhone" marketing only works if people want everyone to know they're using the product.
Microsoft already does this with their mobile Outlook. Sent by Outlook Android / iOS on the bottom of the message.
Huge difference: the commit signature may not have had anything to do with Copilot, whereas email sent by mobile Outlook was... sent by Outlook.

#98This is pumping someone's metrics up inside of Microsoft, somewhere . The question is - will their boss revert it or encourage it when they discover the source of the stats being juiced?
That someone saw Google's claim that 75% of their code is written with AI and said "hold my beer". Juiced stats? No such thing, at least as long as stock number go up.
>No such thing, at least as long as stock number go up.
You want your 401k to go up, don't you? /s

#99"Sent from my iPhone" marketing only works if people want everyone to know they're using the product.
"sent from my iphone" originally meant more than just "i have a fancy phone that lets me send email" in the early days it meant "I'm not at my desk right now."

#100FYI, they changed the default of 'git.addAICoAuthor' to 'chatAndAgent' afterwards:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/312880
So it was 'off' -> 'on' -> 'chatAndAgent'
