I hope he writes a personal essay about the experience after he leaves Microsoft. Not that he will leave anytime soon, but the first hand accounts of how they are talking about these systems internally are going to be even more entertaining than the wtf PRs.
This comment thread is incredible. It's like fanfiction of a real person. Of course this engineer I respect shares my opinion. Not only that, he's obviously going to quit because of this. And then he'll write a blog post I'll get to enjoy.
Anyway, this is his public, stated opinion on this: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/115762#issuecomment-2...
Of course that is what he says publicly. Can you imagine him saying anything different on this already very heated PR comment section? Those would be quoted in a headline in a news article the next second.
If he reiterates that comment to me after two beers in a relaxing bar I might believe him.
Hahaha. 1000% this. Also, first example from the linked video: a "not vibe coded, promise" example of an ascii space invaders clone... Of all the examples of "has a bunch of training code data since the 80s", this is the best representation of exactly what LLM coding is capable of "in 8 minutes".
