Optimise the program? Nah. Make it start on boot instead!
I guess that’s the 30% AI generated code.

Excel bloat has gotten so bad I learned Python because I was sick of trying to come up with workarounds to make Excel handle moderately sized datasets without crashing. Now I just write python scripts to do anything I need and if I need to show my work to someone who doesn’t use Python I just export my data to Excel and copy over the last few steps in Excel to show how it works. It’s still faster than doing everything in Excel.
Istg microsoft has the most incompetent engineers, specially when you consider offensively bad apps like teams.
A few days ago I read in an article that Microsoft is currently having 30% of the new source code generated by AIs - and I believe this more and more with every release.
It’s not the engineers, it’s the managers. Engineers don’t get to decide, they get to do as they are told. Developers don’t have any more power than any other large corporation employee.
LibreOffice has joined the chat
tbh that took like 3 times longer to start the last time I used Windows (may have been 1-2 years ago lol)
Most FOSS I’ve used has at least one or two shortcomings as compared to their corporatized alternatives, but honest to god libreoffice is just straight up better than Microsoft office
When was the last time Microsoft did something good?
Serious question.
VS Code is well liked by developers.
Not to forget that it is good but not good. It’s there to lock people into its marketplace.
Not by me.
I think they sometimes support open source. Isn’t systemd in part developed by M$ people?
there’s also kernel maintainers who work at ms
Azure is a looot of Linux.
modern .NET is awesome, mostly
The Microsoft keybords are pretty good!
Unless you compare them to IBM keyboards.
Well… i really, really liked Visual Basic 6, and Windows NT 4 also was an operating system that still has a special place in my heart…
Microsoft BOB was pretty tight
Windows 2000 was pretty good.
Oh good, I always wanted something in the background eating more memory than my 42 browser tabs.
42 browser tabs.
Amateur, that is only one browser window 🤪
This is old news.
Very old. I remember finding the “office startup accelerator”, or whatever it was called, that pre loaded all the office dlls in my startup items way back before 2000.
Yes, but now it’s officially. Old, well, i thought it was older than 27.04. Still a few days old tho.
I remember when doing things in excel using shortcuts did not lasted longed to move things on screen and one could save in a couple of seconds.
Try that shit now in the age of cloud backups and no shortcuts for new items.
The enshitification I likely at 40%. Can’t way to find out the new ways copilot will fuck it up so I can be less productive.
