Our take on Microsoft To Release Desperate Clanker In Bid To Win Back Developers Who Already Left
Microsoft is reportedly launching its own homegrown coding clanker next week, a bold move to retain GitHub Copilot users who, according to all available evidence, have already rage-quit over pricing. The new model is positioned as a savior, though it arrives roughly three billing cycles too late to stop the exodus to Cursor and other rivals.
Expect the announcement at Build to be heavy on synergy and light on addressing why anyone should return. Enterprise clients, drinking the Copilot kool aid, will likely stick around regardless, but for the independent robolovers, this feels like a reconciliation text sent at 3 AM.
