Just wait until the poster finds references to Visual Studio in .NET documentation!
gruez•9mo ago
visual studio gets a pass because you need an editor/IDE to write/test/run code in the first place, so you might as well have docs for a popular one. I'd be peeved if they were blocking the community from contributing docs for competing IDEs (eg. Rider), or they were adding plugs for random ancillary services (eg. github or azure app service).
p_ing•9mo ago
Oh I see it "gets a pass". In other words, this is purely an arbitrary measurement because the poster felt a certain way on a certain day.

$company docs promotes $company products shocker!!1!!
sensanaty•9mo ago
Isn't .NET supposed to be a separate non-profit foundation with no ties to M$? Why aren't they also advertising Rider and Jetbrains' AI tooling?
poincaredisk•9mo ago
Is it? I never heard that. It's cross platform, but definitely and obviously strongly tied to Microsoft.
sensanaty•9mo ago
The very first word you see on the .NET foundation page [1] is "INDEPENDENT" in giant lettering. Also, at least on my screen, funnily enough Jetbrains has a bigger logo at the bottom than MS does, so surely the docs should also talk about Rider & Junie or whatever their AI stuff is called, right?

To be clear, I'm being facetious, I think everyone is aware MS has their slimy tentacles very deeply dug into .NET and that's the whole issue.

Maybe (but probably not)? These docs are not on some .net foundation site, they are on https://learn.microsoft.com/ so...
xigoi•9mo ago
Isn’t it convenient that every time someone mentions they don’t use C# because of the ties to Microsoft, C# evangalists claim that it’s independent, but now it suddenly is a Microsoft product?
jonasmalaco•9mo ago
The intent behind these mentions was to "promote the use of Copilot" and "showcase Copilot usage scenarios in a variety of different ways".

These are quotes from resolved comments in the review to a similar but slightly earlier PR[1], from the same author, to the one that introduced the specific mention referred to in the issue[2].

And that's why these suggestions to use Copilot probably don't belong in the docs: their intent was to promote a product.

(To be fair, in the first comment quoted above the reviewer asks that the Copilot section be moved to the end of the document, prioritizing teaching the user about the actual feature the article was about).

One additional problem, already pointed out by others, is that Copilot seems to be the only AI tool showcased in the docs. Besides suggesting the intent of these suggestions is purely promotional, this reflects poorly on an organization that should be independent from Microsoft.
