Yet another good time to get off of Windows

“Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases,” he added. “Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’”

Easy to achieve if the ai just wraps all code in an unsafe block ^^

Honestly migrating from one language to another night actually be one of the best use cases for AI, if you don't change the architecture much it should be doable especially if it's a well tested codebase.

Maybe if the languages are very similar. If you convert C to Rust using AI it might work well but will most definitely not leverage the unique features of Rust. Might as well stay with C in that case. Migrating from an object oriented language like C++ to a language with another paradigm (such as Rust) will most likely produce a burning pile of shit

Windows 11 was released 4 years ago and you still can't move the task bar to a different edge of the screen. If Microsoft can't implement simple feature of a core part of Windows in 4 years they most certainly can't replace their entire C/C++ codebase in 5 years

Well known in the industry how you don't assess programmers by lines of code. You kind of want them to be efficient and clean. Spend their day thinking and design clever solutions... Not pump out lots of unmaintainable low quality stuff. And have a million lines of that by tomorrow. But yeah, guess every aspect of this aligns well. You should be using Linux by now. Or at least do the switch in the near future.
