Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.

Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

We have ours configured pretty well at this point and it does an absolute bang-up job at code review. It will point developers towards tools and utilities that our monorepo has If they appear to be reinventing the wheel. It will catch common problems and issues that we have in our instruction file, and does a pretty good job of catching bugs and small issues like typos and what not.

Perhaps you need to tighten up your instruction file?

Yeah, LLMs are pretty great contextual search engines if you curate a good dataset for them to draw from.
They aren't a magic bullet that'll find what's relevant to you from the vast ocean of shit that is the internet.
