    @thomasfuchs

    I have so many question right now.

    Did... anyone at Microsoft approve this chart? How come they didn't notice so many glaring errors that produced by AI?

          @thomasfuchs so much of this "article" is factually incorrect. Literally bottom of the barrel slop.

              @thomasfuchs the longer I look the worse it gets. “Tim” had me laughing but then I looked at where they put release branches and how they ordered the tags… I am so confused.

                            @thomasfuchs @NovemDecimal They only look at the page count. I've put recipes for making a chocolate cake in the middle of a large, dumb, mandated document and nobody ever noticed.

                                      @jal @thomasfuchs I think Tim's job is to revert changes, because the tagged version gets smaller as Tim goes forward.

                                      And really, with so many AI-generated commits getting continvoucly morged, every company is going to need a full time reverter pretty soon.

                                        The worst part is that this is an educational content, so students are learning incorrect information produced by AI. 😬
