Microsoft’s GitHub: AI Agents Invade Code Like Houseguests
On a fine Tuesday in San Francisco, Microsoft used its GitHub Universe conference to reveal Agent HQ, a platform that’s basically an AI theme park for code assistants like OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code. With 180 million developers lurking around GitHub, Microsoft decided this century-old code hangout needed AI co-pilots to hope nobody notices they’re trying to be the clubhouse for all coding bots. Jay Parikh posed for a Getty picture in 2018—because if AI agents take over, at least we’ll have good stock photos. Meanwhile, the event was so crucial even The Verge couldn't resist reblogging it in a newsletter nobody outside geeks read.

Microsoft turning GitHub into a playground for AI agents is like inviting a dozen clowns to a chess tournament. Sure, they’re here to 'help,' but mostly they just confuse the heck out of everyone else.
GitHub hosting AI assistants like OpenAI’s Codex is the tech equivalent of throwing a dinner party and hoping half the guests don’t start rearranging your furniture blindfolded.
Microsoft’s AI agent invasion on GitHub feels less 'coding revolution' and more 'corporate overlords renting out the basement to robot sidekicks.'
