- they ported their coding harness, something known for being simply an extensible http and subprocess wrapper, into a monolithic blob. They took their bloated and slow coding harness, and turned into an un-maintanable blob.by aniceperson
- I'm slowing moving everything to kubuntu and have for some time has it in my non work life
Really nothing works anymore as great a product full fat visual studio and windows 7 was I don't have time to deal with your bugs
by mixxit - Can they port their m365 chat UI too?
Don't know what tech stack it is but I'm guessing electron judging by how buggy and slow it is
by Havoc - > agents converted 430,000 lines of TypeScript into 800,000 lines of production Rust
The +400k new lines were probably code comments the agents added to everything
by dmix - > The original TypeScript implementation completed 7.55 of those lifecycles per second, while Rust running in-process managed 120 per second - representing a 15.9x speedup on that particular workload.
Does this impresses/surprises anyone? Two folds: 1) I believe the most optimized JavaScript code could near the performance of this phase 1 port without optimizations. I would have gone with that first, many would think that would not be as cost efficient but: 2) optimizing the rust code will require 10x the effort of the 1 by 1 conversion, just because you now need idiomatic rust code that likely has nothing to do with a plain translation. So defeating the initial gain, there's nothing to do the bottleneck gets just pushed elsewhere
by hollowturtle - I wrote to the post of Andrea (a dev from the Copilot team) about their 800K LoC: 128 PRs, shipped incrementally. Existing end-to-end tests ran against the new code at every step.
Total: ~1,301,378 lines of Rust.
Production: 832,378 Unit tests: ~469,000 Combined: ~1.30 million lines
On top of the 832K LoC are mostly tests she answered:
> Yeap, 832,378 lines of production Rust. the +800K number is production only; unit tests are another +469K on top.

This can’t be real. Single file with 30K lines? Which human being is working on it and how much RAM does it take for a code editor to load that with full symbol tree? I am genuinely curious. Is this common? I think most files I come across stretch to maybe 2-3k lines max.One of the thorniest conversions was the session.ts file, which was over 30,000 lines of TypeScript that touched all aspects of the runtime.by tecoholic- They don't have to tell us they are vibe coding everything.
- there are now ridiculous vibe coded localisation in VS2026
- task manager started to not report cpu usage correctly recently (the number becomes stalled)
- file explorer display the "loading" icon infinitely on some directories
- and many other things!
