Microsoft enrages developers with cringe tweet that reckons Copilot can finish your code before you finish your coffee

The company's latest post on X hasn't gone down well with the developer community, as responses beg for it to focus on fixing Windows instead.

It seems Microsoft can't help itself when it comes to generating negative sentiment when it comes to AI in recent weeks. Just a few days ago, the company came under fire after its Windows lead Pavan Davuluri posted about how the platform was evolving as an agentic OS, which generated such backlash he had to disable replies.

Now, the main @Microsoft account on X has posted a message that reads "Copilot finishing your code before you finish your coffee," and as you might imagine, it hasn't gone down too well. Turns out, the tech community doesn't see vibe coding with Copilot in a positive light.

"This has to be bait. There is no way Microsoft is this out of touch with their user base and developers" says one reply. "Copilot finishing my code isn’t the flex Microsoft thinks it is…" reads another. "It's impressive how out of touch Microsoft manages to be with posts like this," another person says.

The post has over 215K views on X so far, and over 200 replies. A large chunk of the responses are negative, either laughing at Microsoft's inability to read the room, or highlighting how Copilot's coding capabilities aren't actually at a level where you'd feel comfortable letting it build something without spending hours checking it over.
