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

Ah, another deranged LinkedIn post boasting things that will never happen. It's a shame that Microsoft turned itself into an organization that selects for these kinds of people instead of actual technical talent.

Later on:

“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.

My team’s project is a research project. We are building tech to make migration from language to language possible. The intent of my post was to find like-minded engineers to join us on the next stage of this multi-year endeavor—not to set a new strategy for Windows 11+ or to imply that Rust is an endpoint.”

Ah a research project

I can do that.

None of the code will work and everything will be built on hallucinated variables and loops that don't do anything, but I can do it! Hire me!

I can write a macro to unroll any loop I run across, hit that mill easy as pie

Its a research project so we can justify not paying you.

Normally I would agree but honestly I think the AI mania is so intense at Microsoft that they probably just said that they loved his enthusiasm
