[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I announced a milestone.

30% of our code is now written by AI.

I called it "engineering velocity."

The board loved that phrase.

They didn't ask what the code does.

Neither did we.

It compiles. Usually.

That's the metric.

Someone asked about testing.

I said "AI-assisted quality assurance."

That means the AI writes the tests too.

For the code it wrote.

It finds no issues.

Very efficient.

This week we admitted Windows 11 core features are broken.

Audio doesn't work.

Explorer crashes.

Updates fail to install.

Users asked why.

I said "we're investigating."

Investigating means reading the code.

The code the AI wrote.

That no human understands.

Because understanding isn't scalable.

Our CTO says 95% of code will be AI-generated by 2030.

I believe him.

I have to.

We fired the people who would check.

They were "non-essential headcount."

Essential means writes code.

AI writes code.

Humans are overhead.

Overhead gets optimized.

We optimized 10,000 engineers last year.

This year the bugs arrived.

Unrelated, obviously.

The engineers we kept are debugging AI output.

They don't understand it either.

But they're "cross-functional."

Cross-functional means they do everything.

Everything means nothing well.

A user asked why their audio disappeared after an update.

I said "install updated drivers."

They asked why the update broke the drivers.

I said "report it via Feedback Hub."

They asked what happens to feedback.

I said "it helps us prioritize."

Prioritize means add to backlog.

Backlog means never.

But politely.

Someone on Hacker News called this "a privacy and consent disaster."

I called it "an evolving user experience."

Same thing. Different framing.

We released a fix.

The fix broke something else.

The something else was also written by AI.

The fix was also written by AI.

They're collaborating now.

I call it "autonomous iteration."

The autonomous iteration has created 47 new bugs.

Each bug spawns a fix.

Each fix spawns two bugs.

Exponential growth.

Just like our stock price.

Unrelated, obviously.

Satya told Mark we're at 30%.

Mark said he didn't know Meta's number.

Sundar said Google is also at 30%.

None of us know what the code does.

But we know the percentage.

Percentage is a metric.

Metrics go in earnings calls.

Earnings calls move stock prices.

Stock prices determine bonuses.

Bonuses determine success.

Success means the bugs don't matter.

Users asked when Windows will work again.

I said "we're committed to quality."

Quality means it ships.

Ships means it's your problem now.

Thank you for being part of the Microsoft family.

Family means you can't leave.

We're in your enterprise agreement.

For three more years.

The circle of innovation.

Here’s some of the earliest footage of competitive Street Fighter preserved from 1991. It’s such an important piece of fighting game history.

The fundamental concepts we still rely on today are in display. I’d love to see more of this content find its way on the internet.

It was a pocket-sized tournament, but we still had a lot of fun nonetheless. This game is actually quite technical with more mechanics than you'd think.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Multiple, serious security vulnerabilities found in the Rust clone of Sudo — which shipped with Ubuntu 25.10 (the most recent release).

Not little vulnerabilities: We’re talking about the disclosure of passwords and total bypassing of authentication.

In fact, we’re getting new reports of showstopper grade issues every few days on the Rust-based clones (like sudo, du, date, and others) which were forced to ship in Ubuntu before they were fully tested.

Which is, of course, *exactly* what was predicted.

But, never fear! At least these Rust clones are memory safe!

PHEW!

TMNT: TIT core updated with audio changes after pulling measurements / audio captured directly from our newly working PCB.

Audio playback now matches the original in stereo and mono. Updated versions are available via update_all (MiSTer) and pupdate (Pocket).

Hey team, we've got a nice short little event feedback form for Southern Cross Up 2025.

https://t.co/9w75XfNXUO

With a new venue we had a lot of new challenges and we tried our best to cover them all but there are always things we can improve on. So please help us to improve.

A reminder that we have handy quick reference charts for DIN connectors on the Retro Access knowledge center. Check it out!

The last piece of the IM/Sent puzzle has finally been solved, the synergy between sentinel and IM has finally been complete. Sentinel can tag into Iron man from any hit pretty much anywhere and TOD. OH MAN! #MVC2 #Ironman #sentinel

YoungLegend clutches out the win with some defensive, but aggressive play. While Alpha 2's meta continues to evolve, one fact remains the same -- you got butter, make some cookies.
