Less than a year after CEO Satya Nadella said 30% of Microsoft's code is AI-written, company appoints an 'Engineering Quality Head;' and here's why that matters | - The Times of India
Tech News News: Microsoft has appointed Charlie Bell, its former security chief, as the company's new engineering quality head — less than a year after CEO Satya Nadella said AI writes 30% of its code. The move comes amid rising Windows 11 bugs, underwhelming Copilot adoption, and growing evidence that AI-generated code introduces more errors than it eliminates.

At this point, if you don't find AI tools useful for code generation, that's a skill issue.
(The issue is that you are an actually competent programmer who knows how to do things like abstract boilerplate code into a helper function or practice test-driven development, and therefore you recognize the AI tool "assistance" as a net productivity loss. If you aren't good enough on your own that AI slows you down, the "speedup" you'll experience can only come at a crippling quality cost, which you might not even be able to recognize until it's too late.)
