The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.

It is a great eco system with great tooling and language features.

Ya I agree, there was a time where Satya had a fresh outlook and instilled hope.

Now he cannot take criticism about their AI offerings and they are forcing it into everything.

Boggles my mind that Notepad has a Copilot button. Truly tone deaf.

Yea I am not saying the tools are bad. Also use Claude mostly via our internal corporate tooling to do initial generation of things like unit tests and it helps sketch and brainstorm.

I will say it is crazy the amount of trust people/companies are putting in the tools though. It can and will make up straight lies out of thin air. At least with code things don’t compile which helps a bit. Even then, have been watching a few MSFT repo’s and they have devs just blanket approving copilot generated PR’s that have bugs and breaking changes.

The tools are great, but they aren’t an excuse to be lazy. And they aren’t a replacement for that last 10% like you said, still need devs and real human problem solving.
