Teams Codebase Bitcoin Mining Joke

The boring answer is probably something along the lines of “copilot was trained by employees of OpenAI who aren’t technically MS employees”. When I worked at MS you had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get access to code from other orgs. I can’t imagine what BS you’d need to do to give access to a vendor. At least a year ago in Azure that wasn't true; everyone had access to nearly every internal service's code (+the windows kernel). Though there were some exceptions (the Teams team didn't want to share their source at all for whatever reason). > the Teams team didn't want to share their source at all for whatever reason Because it probably mines one bitcoin block every time you click on something. No sane codebase could possibly be so abysmally slow. That would require purpose. I suspect Teams is entirely generated by copilot. There is no other explanation.

A screenshot of a dark-mode online discussion about Microsoft Teams, Azure, Copilot, and access to internal source code. The punchline claims Teams is so abysmally slow that it must mine a Bitcoin block whenever clicked, followed by the absurd suggestion that it was entirely generated by Copilot. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to Teams being slow, bloated, or frustrating to use.
