    I’m having a bad day.

    Can someone reassure me that idiots using copilot aren’t suddenly going to become more effective and productive than me?

      Maybe, but you’ll get the last laugh when they rely on it for everything and it is eventually whisked away behind an enormous monthly fee.

      They won’t. Maybe they get rudimentary tasks done faster but their lack of understanding of what they are doing is gonna cause problems in anything else.

        So programming is gonna go from a “search, understand basics, copy/paste, make changes” industry to a “I breathe compiler optimization, pay me money” industry?

        Can’t say I’m that upset, it had to happen eventually. But this will only kick the brainpower down the road for the copy/pasters because they’ll have a lot more time to dig in and specialize.
