tl;dr: AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI...

Just one thing that caught my attention:

AI code review helps developers. We ... found that 72.6% of developers who use Copilot code review said it improved their effectiveness.

Only 72.6%? So why the heck are the other almost 30% of devs using it? For funsies? They don't say.

You'd think due to self selection effects most people who wouldn't find using Copilot effective wouldn't use it.

The only way that number makes sense to me is if people were force to use Copilot and... no, wait, that checks out.

I don't see the problem, that looks like a typical McMansion to me.

Also, it's nice the AI included a dedicated room for snorting cocaine (powder room).

I'm "LIne storee" babyee.

Automs

I think he's just a true believer (or very good at lying).

AFAIK data warehouse = regular database data lake = place to keep various files that don't fit into DB

Data lakehouse aims to integrate these two, I don't think it's a totally stupid idea.

Pivot to bio-computing

At first, I couldn't believe that the staff didn't catch that. But thinking about it, no, I totally can.

When I read Excel Copilot, I thought "they finally added a chatbot that lets you generate a spreadsheet/range/table processing a datasource. Like "copilot, create a table that aggregates prices by category from table xyz".

To which I was like "Ok, maybe that could be useful to some of the many non-technical excel users." I wasn't prepared for whatever this is.

I mean with vibe-coding/excelling? you eventually get something that can run deterministically.

Are we... are we gonna start seeing terminally AI-pilled bozos implementing gacha mechanics in data pipelines?

I think Leathery Pete might have read too much Left Behind.

All enthusiasm for polyamory replaced with enthusiasm for tag team matches

both would be funnier

It was supposed to. I'm just not that good at writing.
