Too many organizations put value on how many lines of code their developers write in a day, but not enough place value on how many lines of coke they delete every night.
Do you think we are setting the bar too low? Is it enough for 1 million LOC to implement a ribbon UI, or should it do something else as well? Subscription reminder popup, perhaps? Bonzi buddy? AOL CD subscription? How many fucking features do you expect in 1M LOC, buddy? Don't be ridiculous, it can't be done. 1M LOC barely displays a single triangle
Dear Nerd, while I appreciate you trying to "make friends" which is especially brave given your condition, I must inform you that I am NOT into LoTR or dices-based table games (I'll enjoy a pub quiz about Arsenal). Should you need further explanation, please consider reading this book, which has helped many in your situation. Yours truly, the single neurotypical person you spoke to this week.
Just because Galen got a brain bleed (again) does not mean all of Microsoft is buying into this. Having worked with this guy, it would be far from the first time he sets out a project that he doesn’t have the authority or the ability to actually do.
oh god. turns out this guy is a Known Idiot
i had no idea microsoft even differentiated those!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be worried about the ability of AI to actually achieve anything close to this, but now I see that they will be using AI and algorithms, so no need to worry
It appears my post generated far more attention than I intended... with a lot of speculative reading between the lines.
Just to clarify... Windows is NOT being rewritten in Rust with AI.
The intent of my post [was not] to set a new strategy for Windows 11+ or to imply that Rust is an endpoint.

My goal is to eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030. Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases.
Im working on a project in Rust where I have used quite a bit of Rust.
To me it feels like i works exeptionally well. But im not a Rust expert and its not code that need to stay alive for a long time only do some heavy computation.
1 million lines of code per person per month.
This can only end well.
Read that as lines of coke at first and already started to update my LinkedIn

Oh, no, cross-country skiing is Palantir. Microsoft is breast milk and adult diapers
Ah unfortunately the breast milk is a hard no for me
We're going to need to rethink how little 1 millions lines can accomplish.
We need to rethink metrics of productivity and start thinking in terms of “prompts per month” instead of “lines of code per month”.

I see you are also familiar with Vulkan.

(holding pinky finger to corner of mouth)
One... Hundred... BILLION LINES OF CODE!
On my most productive days I write -600 lines of code.

How exciting! How exciting!

Claiming there are four things worse than Microsoft? Bold
And it's an achievement considering that it already started with "Microsoft"

rewriting safe_sleep.sh in rust love heart eyes emoji
I don’t see the jerk
You need to start reviewing 70 lines of AI generated code per hour to really see it.
More like 1400 lines per hour in this case, if working 24/7 (like you should).
Review the AI code with more AI. Problem solved! It's slop all the way down.
Start a gray blob scenario from the comfort of your home

/rj AI SLOP OMG WINDOWS WOW DRIVER PROBLEM!!!!!!
me when the wint*rds rewrite it in rust epic bad corporate move
code can only be correct when it was made as God intended, line by line by a human being. Preferably on paper. No machine allowed.

Am I wrong or aren’t LLMs notoriously shit at rust?
They are shit at everything. With less common languages, they will barely get the syntax right.

They suck both at Rust and C++
