Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.
Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?
Microsoft Claude 365?
Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I’m in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.
And what are the good non-github sites these days?
I wonder if the shift away from ChatGPT was due to their latest model using grokipedia to spew disinformation.
Microsoft Claude Copilot 365
Klopilot - I’m sorry I think this only works in German
Welllll
WC stands for Water Closet and I think Klo is short for Klosett?
The brits also call it the ‘loo’ which doesn’t sound too far off from ‘Klo’ I think
So it’s not actually that hard to infer what it means
To be fair I did take like 6 years of Deutsch in die Schule, aber ich habe alles vergessen + I’m not entirely sure we ever learned the word “Klo”. Maybe we did.
In the most German pedantic way: “in der Schule”
Microsoft is killing itself with shit vibe code.
Good. Let’s accelerate the transition to TempleOS.

Copilot sucks, that is all
You do realize its ChatGPT underneath, yes?
I chuckle and die a little when the CGPT bois trash Copilot, but lie, when it was nonprofit MS was funding a lot of the research so that’s their backend.
I dont use openai, chatgpt was better for sure though, maybe not on a model level but on ui and ux. Copilot constantly has not checks that interrupt work. Copilot and chat gpt give different responses when interpreting excels, copilot is worse. It is the worst llm I have used.
I use le chat, copilot is for work and rarely because it sucks so much.
Squizzy didn’t come off as a “ChatGPT boi.” What are you on about?
I wasn’t meaning they are specifically, just pointing out how fanbois are. Thats why I dropped to another paragraph. Sorry
We got copilot reviewing our code at work
It mostly just finds typos and other things like that
Quite useless at anything else
We have ours configured pretty well at this point and it does an absolute bang-up job at code review. It will point developers towards tools and utilities that our monorepo has If they appear to be reinventing the wheel. It will catch common problems and issues that we have in our instruction file, and does a pretty good job of catching bugs and small issues like typos and what not.
Perhaps you need to tighten up your instruction file?
Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000’s?
My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).
Seems to be the worst Ai by far.
For copilot in visual studio at least you can select between models it will use, depending on the org setup showing them.
I don’t see how “worst of all of them” applies when it’s an umbrella of other models.
Maybe we’re all taking about different copilots. There’s multiple products after all.
GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn’t find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers…
It does cut down review time for juniors’ work, and it’s capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It’s a useful tool that assists and doesn’t replace competent developers.
I don’t know, that is about all Mistral can do too.
That and python scipy is like a 50/50 for relevant code snippits.
It had never once output compilable embedded code, even when I have tried to directly lead it there.
Its only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot
Seems to be the worst Ai by far.
Which is weird because isn’t ChatGPT supposed to be one of the best (least shitty)? Isn’t CoPilot rebranded ChatGPT?
No, gpt is much better. I dont know how it works behind the scenes but I think Copilot is what Microsoft built and gpt is what open ai built.
I think Microsoft, as they often do, see the writing on the wall—the AI bubble bursting soon, taking AI-only businesses with them. What I see in this is a play to, at best, buy some extra good will with Anthropic so they can be first in line for the acquisition when the latter are tanking, or at worst (and more likely imo), get them dependent on Microsoft for revenue so that they have no other choice to be subsumed by them.
But I’ve been wrong about most economic/political predictions I’ve ever made, so we’ll see!
If there’s any company that will survive the bubble, it’s Anthropic. They’re the only company with a product, a business model, and customers that see long-term value in it.
Their product may be one of the best, but they are more expensive, and they have no hope of making enough revenue to float their business.
MS and Google float their AI with their other profits, so it can work as a business model.
They are tiiny and losing money by the skip full.
This is true. But remember that Microsoft has an incomprehensible amount of money and if the bubble bursts Anthropic may survive but not at the same value.
I doubt Google couldn’t easily kill Anthropic by expanding their Antigravity project.
Antigravity is only rarely useful in software development.
The same could be repeated verbatim for any other AI agent.
Its almost like everyone building this shit at one point in the past 5 years called themselves a “software developer” and might have a good insight as to what that job entails. Posibly why LLMs are kinda competent at the job of development, they are being built by 1000’s of ex software developers.
Probably wont be good at law or chemistry because the people building it have a felon musk level of understanding about those jobs.
Like a virus you say?
Microsoft is going to poison Claude with their shitty devs.
I think Anthropic has done a good enough job of poisoning Claude themselves within the past 4 to 5 months or so.
Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS
Praying windows 12 will just be the name of the Ubuntu based distro Microsoft releases after they admit their devs are too incompetent to maintain a kernel.
Ok, but that would shake up EVERYTHING!!! Just imagine:
WINDOWS LINUX
Linux development would be BREAKNECK!
You mean: have it’s neck broken by the falling mass of a shit-mountain of LLM-slop?

Great paywall. I guess I’m not reading this article.
And then La Verge will wonder why it can’t keep readers on their website.
I didnt get a paywall myself actually. Mobile Firefox with ublock origin.
No paywall on Firefox desktop either with ublock origin either.
Other readers- archive.is link - completely readable
Try https://removepaywalls.com/. I’ve never had it fail for me.
It won’t work for hard pay walls
What’s a hard paywall? Again, it’s has never failed me. It works fine on OP’s article. Can you show me one it doesn’t work for?
I think he means a paywall that replaces the content rather than cover it. You can’t bypass a paywall that replaces the content.
The tool I referenced is just an archive search engine. It searches for unblocked copies of the article. It’s not a mechanical “paywall remover” in the literal sense.
Honestly I had the opposite experience and never had a “paywall remover” work :/
I also tried the weirder techniques like stopping the load of the page etc but it’s not very reliable and rarely works.
The guy from GTA 3 is writing code?
That’s maybe the worst flex for Claude possible.
MS isnt’ very good at isolating its experiments…
