Rewiring

Since the opening salvo, campaigns have been waged on both sides of the border

Victories:

  • managed to pivot one project from SQL Server to PostgreSQL a few weeks before release
  • lobbying started on basing new on-prem infra on Linux instead of Windows
  • ditched Github Copilot license for JetBrains AI, since it's now well supported in Rider. It works beautifully with self-hosted models 🦾
  • MS Teams continues to terrorize the local populace, raising fighting spirit across the board

Territories lost:

  • GH Copilot has claimed some more victims
  • A project had to be deployed to Azure instead of on-prem for REDACTED and REDACTED reasons

All in all, the troops should be prepared for a long conflict, but rest assured, victory can be achieved by our sweat, coffee and tears!
