alt Hacker NewsI know you are joking but I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems, when actually the most likely reason is engineers are drawing in tech debt.

Upper management in Microsoft has been bragging about their high percentage of AI generated code lately - and in the meantime we've had several disastrous Windows 11 updates with the potential to brick your machine and a slew of outages at github. I'm sure it might be something else but it's clear part of their current technical approach is utterly broken.
It’s not a joke. This is funny because it is true.
Better to replace management by AI.
Computers can produce spreadsheets even better and they can warm the air around you even faster.

GitHub is under Microsoft’s CoreAI division, so that’s a pretty sure bet.
