And as an extra bonus, we dropped the price of coding agent to align more closely with Agent Mode - so you can now delegate ~20x as much work to Copilot coding agent per month!.

So much of the history of software development to date has been driven by scaling up the abstraction ladder. What does it mean for the next phases of software development that LLMs benefit less from abstraction than humans do?.

Ask your coding agent to create a TODO web app (frontend and backend) with local file storage in pure x86 assembly?. Fully working, tested web app in a couple of minutes: No dependencies, no abstractions, no frameworks.

One of the striking things about LLM code generation is that abstractions matter so much less. It's just as easy for the LLM to solve a problem in raw x86 assembly as it is to use a fancy high level library with beautiful API design.
