Maybe they should have planned on that when they went all in on Copilot stuff several years ago? Even the GitHub organization is under the larger Cloud/AI organization at Microsoft.
Further, it is clear that Microsoft and GitHub have been strongly encouraging, if not requiring, AI tool use in their own, internal development. I have seen several automated PRs within GitHub repos that were 100% done by AI. Big surprise where that's leading.
