    “Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’

    What could possibly go wrong

      Assuming a full-time employer engineer works 20 days a month, that’s 50,000 lines of code a day.

      Assuming an 8 hour work day, that’s 6,250 lines of code per hour, or 104 lines of code per minute.

      This is humanly impossible without using AI and automation at every stage of the process. Good luck with that.

      I’m guessing where we’re headed is software “engineers” becoming AI prompt “engineers” for design, development, review, testing, and shipping.

      Buckle up, shit’s gonna get wild.

      I mean, I don’t see the issue.

      Producing such amounts of code with AI should be a easy as pie.

      Obviously, through many outages and bugs present in the Windows and other Microsoft products, they could not give two shits about quality. And quantity is easily measured and also achieved with the Enormous Bullshit Spewer.

      I always wished for Microsoft to die, and if this is the way, I will clap for their efforts.
