    Does anyone even want to try this? I'm a Windows user, M365 subscriber, VS Code user (when I'm not in Codex), had a Github Copilot subscription, etc... and a heavy AI user. Basically, the prime target for Microsoft AI. And every attempt Microsoft has made to put AI into a product has been unusable garbage, using the same models I find productive in other tools.

    So many AI doubters I know hate using AI tools because their employer only gives them the Microsoft offerings. Which is a totally understandable reaction to those tools.

      “AI doubters”

      By the numbers we just call them “most people”… you’re in the minority by quite a growing stretch.

        But have you heard the good news of our lord and saviour Claude Opus 5.5?

        (Not the be confused with the Claude Opus 5. That's a different lord that didn't turn out to be a saviour.)
