In the era of coding with frontier LLMs, it should take Microsoft 20 junior engineers, a couple seniors, a token budget and a month or two to fix most of this shit by building lean, native apps. Given that they can obviously spare this kind of resourcing, I truly wonder why they won't. Not that I give a crap - removed the last windows machine from my home ages ago at this point.
- 72deluxe 1mo agoYes it's odd that given the obsession with LLMs and how much native code they've been trained on, why on earth they can't actually ever seem to write a good native app using their own frameworks is baffling. Having said that, the code for Windows Calculator is truly astonishingly over-engineered. I don't understand who "designs" stuff like that in C++. It's insanely engineered, so perhaps they have truly lost their ability to do anything well?
