There are just two forms of code - public domain and private. It's just that some people don't see it yet.

Quick, someone use AI to scan the codebase and explain the decision tree of Copilot Chat with regards how it handle prompts and responses.

I have a hard time getting excited about this when they have such an atrocious record of handling pull requests in VS Code already: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pulls

msgodel · 9m ago

It looks to me like they close nearly 30 PRs every day. That's kind of amazing.

I'm no fan of Microsoft but that's a massive maintenance burden. They must have multiple people working on this full time.

That's because it's Microsoft's Trademarked version of Open Source.

All the good FOSS vibes, without any of the hard FOSS work...

NewsaHackO · 9m ago

I hate this analogy. Just because something is open source, doesn’t mean it is forced to commit or comment on every pull request which takes development time. If that notion really bothers you, you are free to fork VSCode and close all 600 pull requests on your fork.

tomnipotent · 7m ago

I'm not sure I see the problem. The number of merged PR's looks on the high side for a FOSS project.
