In the end, I’m skeptical that Windows’s internal culture has enough product mindset, like the popular consumer AI companies do.

ChatGPT can also leverage a social network if they build it. And ChatGPT is multiplatform. I wonder if MS can go multiplatform fast enough.
MS can integrate agentic more readily, but OpenAI could too I think as Windows isn’t locked down. In the end, response quality isn’t unimportant

Re Q&A: Microsoft has the distribution to compete with ChatGPT, which makes them a competitor at all. Installing ChatGPT is a tiny bit of work.
I think the big question is if Microsoft can keep themselves from enshittifying it right away. If ChatGPT is free, the switch is so easy

Is there a lot of precedent for keyword(argument) syntax in Rust? I can think of fn(args) but not much else, particularly not in expression space.
I’m a bit concerned it won’t stand out as special syntax, and people will read it as a function call

I like landing on recordings that feature on compilation albums. Because the neighbor recordings will be of a similar style.

TL;DR: don’t buy. I find the book is more about visualizing productivity. It acknowledges the ways in which coding agents struggle (no surprise for me). The actual advice in the book is few and far between, maybe useful for me as a blog post, but not spread out over 384 pages.

My baseline is AI code completion, which I find very easy to be productive with. I have also read a bunch already on agents, and tried them, with largely mediocre results in the Rust world I inhabit.

Yes absolutely!
I assumed it was limited to variables to avoid conflicts with formatting specifiers (and keep everything easily explainable). Maybe that wasn’t the reason
