That's not what Nadella said 1-2 years ago. Everyone seemed pretty aware of LLMs soon being able to handle a lot of steps of software development.
I bet it's mostly due to Azure being brittle and the AI boom is just a nice cover story (not saying it's not challenging to handle all that new load) to save face and sell more Azure services.
100% if this post (https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporize...) is anything to go by, it could explain much of the scaling & reliability issues.Perhaps github not being built to scale this fast + being hosted on azure is closer to the truth.
