So the CEO is trying to tell investors that they are saving money by not paying employees. But to me it sounds more like: we are letting our sub-par products continue to enshitify, and any other company using AI to program will be equal competition.
I think he's trying to say that their AI writes code good enough for Microsoft. Which is a message to other business leaders that your company too can benefit from copilot, just hand over your credit card!
Microsoft has absolutely gotten worse in the consumer space, but that isn't really their business these days.
They're worse in the business space too. Teams is crashing on me daily.
Teams crashed on me today too! It's great because it was a meeting with external people, so I had to sit in the waiting room in shame until one of them let me back in.
They are even worse in the business space for sure.
Good point
What products do they have that are enshittifying?
Here is the definition: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
I've read the article. Search, Notepad, Teams, Excel.
Outlook is stable
Thank you
I'll agree with search, notepad (the recent ai add), and teams (since it's literally enshittifying Skype). Not sure on excel. Excel seems pretty stable.
They started preloading it on windows start due to bloatware and corporate management bullcrap. There was an article about on lemmy a few days ago.
Here's the list of what they are enshittifying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_software
Ok so you don't know the definition, moving on
lol
It's seems more that you don't really know the definition.
Imagine simping for a trillion dollar company. Lol
Hmm seems like he do
You look like a very fun person to spend time with (/s)
Have you not noticed that the Windows search has become a meme for being really useful in windows seven and useless in newer versions because it started
And that's just one example that's obvious enough to become a meme
BTW: any form of making a Microsoft product worse for profit of Microsoft is enshittification since they have both endusers and sellers of products that only work on windows/in the Microsoft ecosystem locked in with significant costs tied to leaving.
Windows 11 was much much shittier, idk about the rest of their products, I haven't used them.
And I switched over to steamOS, so I won't be using any of their products again.
You didn't read the definition, moving on
Yes, we are in the third phase: service to user is free diving in order to increase money to M$ shareholders?
Man, chill. Break the word down.
En - Into / Become Shit - Da poo poo Fication - The process of becoming
What products do they have that aren't?
You didn't read the definition, so im moving on.
You said this a lot, but you seem more like you took offence than like you're moving on.
It comes across as you dismissing people's points because they didn't debate by the rules you invented for them to speak.
It's not a computer science word, it's an IT word, and I'm afraid you're going to have to live with people being a bit imprecise with it.
Why not link to the article coining the term? It's well written and explains well.
