Microsoft doesn't know how to make software anymore. That's not an anti-AI thing, or even an anti-microsoft thing, they just truly don't know.

It's not a tech company anymore. The people in charge aren't nerds, they aren't coders, their business people now. The org is so large and cumbersome that the left hand never knows what the right is doing. How can they possibly make software when you have to go through 42 teams for even the smallest feature request, miles of red tape, approvals, legal, everything. Small startups can build better things because they don't have all the stupid bureaucracy of big tech, and Microsoft just keeps adding more. "Maybe even more overhead will get us operational!" It's no wonder to me they're falling behind, they don't know how to make things anymore.
