Have they tried giving Trump MORE Money to Fix this? Bribing Trump has WORKED out So Far!

Or maybe injecting even more AI into their products? People seem to looooove that.

Or maybe making an even shittier OS by firing more engineers, and replace them with terrible AI slop code?

GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft’s shop.

Where is this image from and what service? Super curious to share this but not getting the same metrics from gh status page.

I searched using the name in the bottom-right, and he/she is a developer who created an open source tool to construct the graph from historical GitHub incidents. It’s hosted here and the source is here

Maybe their SLO is three 9: 89.99%

This drawdown has sparked a debate about the “Magnificent Seven” member: Is Microsoft stock a falling knife, or has the market overreacted, presenting a rare opportunity to buy a preeminent artificial intelligence (AI) stock at a discount?

First, “the market” overreacts about everything. Not surprising given that stock price volitility is mostly driven by speculation.

Second, who writes this crap? Anyone who thinks of Microsoft as an “AI stock” is clueless. The majority of Microsoft’s revenue comes from “services”, a big chunk of which is derived from subscriptions for Azure, Office 365, and other hosted solutions.

Microsoft has been racing to cram “AI” into as many areas as possible. Probably in an attempt to justify their substantial R&D and capital expenditures. But calling them an “AI stock” is insane considering “AI” is not their core business or even a profitable part of their business.

Isn’t a decent amount of trading vibes / meme based? At least, a lot of crypto and arguably Tesla is. For those traders, isn’t Microsoft an AI stock? At least some of the genAI stock valuations are from a subset of people thinking that the singularity is coming and that the first of these companies to do it will boom, aren’t they? And isn’t that the target audience for this sort of reporting?

Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don’t.
