Making a very basis alt tab replacement

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

Alt-tab replacement out in beta

Switch programs by typing the first letter of it's name

Many more features like layouting, grouping, closing/opening... to come

Expect bugs :)

so he's writing code so that ai can write worse code

what are we doing anymore

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@neerajjj6785 i dont know never tried it

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

windows boost cpu to show start menu feature

[Cory House @housecor]

I just watched the 3.5 hour keynote at Microsoft Build.

What’s wild is what they didn’t mention at all:

C#
.NET
TypeScript

They only mentioned VS Code once: “Our new AI model is in VS Code”.

I don’t recall seeing any code at all.

Agentic engineering replaced programming.

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

They say "I don't write code anymore" like thats not been obvious for the last 10 years

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@schteppe Bold of you to assume a skip CI feature exists

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

"Fingerprints are unique" is a lie sold to you by big finger to keep you compliant. My fingerprints constantly change, they are literally unrecognizable every other day. According to my Samsung phones fingerprint sensor

@ThePrimeagen rsync? More like arent sync

I tweeted this but I think more than 5 people deserve to hear this

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

rsync being vibe coded? more like, aren't sync

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

sam after painfully realizing people will be able to get jobs

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

"I'm addicted to vibe coding" oh you mean you love ordering pizza and getting to eat dung instead

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

Microsoft is basically sabotaging my alt-tab now

@Terraphice Actually, I'm pretty sure I did pick the correct house

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

Yes, because my cpu, up to 67,200,000,000 boosted core-cycles per second, with 12 cores, 24 threads, 134,400,000,000 logical thread-clock slots per second, 2,150,400,000,000 theoretical FP32 FMA operations per second, 80,478,208 bytes of cache is clearly not enough. It must run at 210% overclocked to do the ginormous task of showing a rounded rectangle. It's not just any rectangle mind you, it's a WHITE rectangle.

[Windows Latest @WindowsLatest]

Microsoft VP fires back at Windows 11's new speed trick critics: "Apple does this and you love it."

Windows 11’s hidden Low Latency Profile is getting dragged online, but the criticism misses the point.

Windows Latest has tested the Low Latency Profile, and it truly works. When you open the Start menu, a menu, or an app, Windows briefly boosts the CPU for 1–3 seconds so the task finishes faster. On budget PCs, that can make the whole OS feel much snappier.

Some users called it a “band-aid,” but Microsoft's Scott Hanselman pushed back and explained that macOS and Linux already do similar things.

Modern systems boost CPU speed for interactive tasks because responsiveness matters.

"Let Windows cook," Microsoft's legendary dev Scott Hanselman argues in defense of Windows 11's upcoming feature.

Of course, Windows 11 needs to be optimized at the code level, but the answer is not “don’t boost the CPU.”

Microsoft needs to do the best of both worlds. That means it needs to optimize the code, reduce bloat, and use modern scheduling tricks to make Windows feel fast again.

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@Terraphice I'm not being disingenuous actually, I just think that my CPU should not have to be boosted to show the start menu.

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@MikeSr388 @AshenOne38286 Ehh
I remember i stayed of 7 for many years until I absolutely couldn't anymore, and when I switched to 10, ads, telemetry, lag, bugs etc

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@Nocturnal2x @AshenOne38286 8 was so bad I forgot it existed

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@PillCosbyDofus @neonekki What is wrong with saying that my CPU non boosted is fast enough for what is displayed?

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@TuBon_gRips @mousquitwo How is this real

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

@mousquitwo If we're talking it gets minimally better, I'd agree with that. Then how much time until it gets worse again... Imagine the sentence ”Windows 11, a truly stable, snappy and performant OS”, without bursting out laughing

[Adam Basis @AdamBasis]

I don't know the future, but I don't need to know it. They've shown what they do already, so theres no point in believing them saying they'll improve it. So far they've done nothing except piggy back on hardware even more. Even if they were to fix it, are they going to break it again?

This isn't against the developers, I'd feel bad if someone would take this personally, the problem is the entire corp Microsoft.
