A lot of companies that have stopped hiring junior employees are going to be really hurting in a couple of years, once all of their seniors have left and they have no replacements trained and ready to go.

This is the opposite of what humanity needs.
We do NOT need to humanize AI.

There's an #EEE text on #FFF at the bottom of the post.
Oh - I'm in light mode and all the text on the page is #111111 with a #ffffff background. Switched to dark mode and now I see what you're saying - indeed that's not great.

And the title too.
The page has a @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) style that causes this, so those in light mode are unaffected.

Grey text on white background :-(
Do you actually have trouble reading it?
#111111 is pretty close to black.

If you thought we already had a problem with every person becoming an insane narcissist in the age of social media, just wait until people grow up being fed sycophantic bullshit by AI their entire life.

This blog post is wonderful and so accurately sums up my own journey through TODO productivity.
Did GitHub have a funding problem? They doubled revenue last year, with 40% of that coming from GitHub Copilot. I imagine that for 2025, the increase will be much higher than even that.
I expect that the problem that Microsoft aims to fix is that people can use GitHub effortlessly without locking into Azure and Power Platform

I don't believe so, and I didn't mean to imply that. Rather just that if they are part of the "Core AI" org then they will likely remain a priority area of investment for Microsoft...right now anyway.
GitLab is like, really good. No need to put your codebase in the "cloud."

Yes and no. If all you want is a remote git server then no, there's not. But there's plenty of legitimate reasons to use a SaaS tool like GitHub.
