The company that once called Linux a "cancer" is now the one shipping its core tools to Windows users. Microsoft just shipped GNU coreutils for Windows. ls. grep. cat. cp. find. The same commands that have powered Unix and Linux systems for over 50 years are now available natively on Windows, maintained by Microsoft itself. For context: GNU coreutils are the foundational utilities that every Linux and macOS system relies on for basic file operations, text processing, and shell scripting. They are the bedrock of Unix computing. Tens of millions of scripts, pipelines, and workflows run on them every day. And now Microsoft is shipping and maintaining a build of them for Windows. This is not WSL. You do not need a Linux subsystem running in the background. These tools run natively on Windows, with the exact same flags and behavior as on Linux. Your existing scripts just work. Microsoft's goal: make moving between Linux, macOS, WSL, containers, and Windows completely frictionless. Write a script once. Run it anywhere. The package bundles uutils/coreutils (a modern Rust rewrite of GNU coreutils), findutils, and grep into a single multi-call binary. Every command supports standard flags. Same commands, same pipelines, no translation needed. The project is still in preview. But the direction is unmistakable.

🦔GitHub Copilot switched to token-based billing this morning and users are already out of credits. Pro+ subscribers paying $39 a month are reporting 60% of their credits gone in two hours of normal use. One user lost 20% of their allowance from a single file review with no code changes. Another hit their monthly cap before the calendar even flipped to June. Orgs with shared token pools have no way to see individual usage, so entire teams get cut off when one person runs a heavy prompt. Users are canceling and moving to Claude Code and Codex. GitHub community forums are on fire. My Take Flat-rate AI subscriptions were always subsidized. Everyone in the industry knew it. Today the subsidy ran out for a few million developers at once. The problem is a lot of companies already restructured around these tools. They cut headcount and told remaining engineers to lean on Copilot instead of building skills internally. Those companies now depend on a tool whose cost just became unpredictable and whose usefulness completely changes when you have to ration prompts to stay under budget. The developers moving to Claude Code and Codex will hit the same wall eventually. Every AI provider faces the same unit economics. Anthropic filed its S-1 this morning, and the durability of its revenue depends on whether customers stick around once real pricing kicks in everywhere. If a $39 subscriber cancels after one day because the tool became unusable, multiply that across millions of seats and the churn risk becomes very real. Today showed what happens when AI pricing meets reality. The companies that built their workflows around cheap tokens just discovered the tokens aren't cheap anymore and the people who knew how to do the work without them are already gone. Hedgie🤗

Software engineering is dead if you are building with AI. It is not if you are building for AI. This is where the natural selection in the market will happen.
