I love to program and did MS Visual FoxPro (20 years) and VB (10 years) and other MS stuff. I love OOP. I am tired of MS pulling the rug on developers after years of experience and we have to totally re-gear on new Tech I am not 100% happy with.

Integrated with the Michelangelo platform, it uses a GenAI Gateway for PII redaction, ensuring data stays local. This reflects a 2026 industry shift between Uber’s "Visual-First" Figma workflow and a "Guide-First" approach favored by developers using agentic IDEs.

By Craig RisiAI Coding Assistants Haven’t Sped up Delivery Because Coding Was Never the Bottleneck
Agoda recently published an observation arguing that while AI coding tools have measurably raised individual developer output, the resulting velocity gains at the project level have been surprisingly modest, because coding was never the real bottleneck.
