AI in coding is cool and stuff, but even using tools like @github.com's #speckit - it's like have the laziest junior developer hanging around.
_No, dude... no... You can just remove the logging because you don't like it. Remember the spec (constitution) you agreed too? ...telemetry is critical!_

When Windows pops up a window from no-where - like UAC - and it’s got a default button, if you happen to be typing at the same time…you end up actioning whatever the default operation is!
For the love of fucking Christ, Microsoft. Who in the design team said ‘yes’ to that? It’s fucking insane!

The mobile experience around the @microsoft365.microsoft.com Planner App is appalling.
Travelling back today, and trying to organise engineers for a project worth millions and it’s not possible without a full-on laptop and stable internet connection.

Took me a few attempts, but I did it. I finished the latest (last?) Mission Impossible.

It's all just Tombo Cruise's movie about how much he can run and how fast.
Also, constant AI/ tech non-sense.

Talked to support - complete refusal to unblock it, citing security concerns. Bonkers!

GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio is really lagging behind the VS Code integration.
Might move to VS Code for .NET dev at this rate, between the speed and better extensions, VS (full) is beginning to feel like a 🦕.

I’ve been paying for Outlook.com for years - more space, etc.
But the spam filter is so bad, I’m finally done. It’s constant. Always reporting the same type, style, or often identical spam. Nothing changes.
Moving to Proton Mail next week - all plus addresses will get a real alias.
