I work for @Microsoft as a Core programmer/writer. Opinions are like ternary coin flips on a unicorn.

@davidfowl They're doing all the writing work for me, look for another job. Complex run on sentences split in a few seconds. That was my super power, I could do it in 15 minutes :(

5 LLMs fail Touring Tst. Point out an error and they repeat the same response. I asked them to duplicate a list so it shows up twice on the same page with 6 sp between. All of them did perfect formatting with 1 sp. fix - same.

Hey @HomeDepot , your checkout is PM hostile. Fix it if you care about security.

@RickStrahl @HawaiianTel fiber optic cable

@RickStrahl @HawaiianTel I switch my house 3 years ago but my condo's didn't offer HawaiianTel so kept Spectrum. At least in Kihei, far more reliable and much cheaper. I'll be switching the condo's over soon.

I have a modem/router, can comment on returns.

@Costco https://t.co/bG6x3liIEz is PWM hostile, upgrade your security, it's circa 1999

[Rick ASP.NET Core MSFT @RickAndMSFT]

Hey @delta, your sign-in security breaks best practices. Doesn't work with PM, that goes 10x on your phone app. Asking for LastName is an accessibility and PWM problem. Prompt for user name and PW only.

@americanair I have a disability and your app doesn't let me save AA flights I purchased from my cc, not through AA. I'm forced to search on date and flite #, which is very difficult for me. The app doesn't save previous searches.

@davidfowl I'm going to build useful phone apps with MAUI in Maui. My first app calculates the max velocity given the mass of the recovery vehicle for a given kinetic rope. I've done the numerical integration to know the max energy that can be stored.

@lowercase_f That's not others, it MSFT whom I work for.

Latest Visual Studio What's new page. Embarrassing and offensive they're not using main.

Happens every release. VS installs preview version and that overrides GA version AND you can't uninstall preview version.

This is what 90% of surveys get wrong and why they don't get valid data

@EdCharbeneau Why can't CoPilot fix them?

@davidfowl CoPilot is writing 50% of my code and sadly doing 80% of my editing. Was considered an expert in breaking up long sentences and making dev comments understandable. CoPilot does the same in seconds. #LLMforcedRetirementSoon

@davidfowl @duckjiber I use 4 LLMs and they won't honor my request to use asci characters only . They add their formatting which doesn't copy/paste. They can't write standard LaTeX, needed for mathematics. Not close to passing Turing test.
