It says it will finish the code, it doesn't say the code will work.

Ooh, unemployment! How exciting! I love Microsoft now.

Copilot, turn on the gas stove without the pilot. Copilot, in 3 hours light the pilot.

Copilot keeps finishing my code for me in near real time... it completely disrupts my train of thought and my productivity dropped tremendously. I finally disabled it.

I LIKE writing code, stop trying to take the stuff away that I WANT to do and instead take away the stuff I HATE doing.

yes but all the code will be wrong and you will spend your entire day chasing stupid mistakes and hallucinations in the code. I'd rather just write the code myself thanks.

What they forget to mention is that you then spend the rest of the week to fix the bugs it introduced and to explain why your code deleted the production database...

I had a bit of a breakthrough with some personal growth with my code today.

I learned a bit more about entity framework that my company is using for a project, and was able to create a database table, query it, add/delete/update, normal CRUD stuff.

I normally work mostly on front end code, so it was rewarding to learn a new skill and see the data all the way from the database to the UI and back - all my code. I felt great after doing a code review this afternoon to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, and we talked about some refactoring to make it better.

AI will never give you that.

I was finished with Windows before Microshit finished Copilot.

Actually it won't be finishing anything because code is disposable now and nobody cares what trivial app somebody can churn out

Love how they're pretending that an LLM is useful for any task that needs precision.

But, will it work, huh? HUH?

I can also type a bunch of random sentences of words. Doesn’t make it more understandable.

Because you won't have time to drink that coffee if you put this code into production

Ah get outta here! Next time they’ll say that co pilot also chooses my furry porn and controls my buttplug while it codes for me.

I mean it gets there in the end but it's often three of four prompts before it provides working code for a relatively simple powershell script. Can't imagine that it scales to complex code that well at the moment, but then again I'm not a coder.

Writing code is the reward for doing the thinking. If the LLM does it then software engineering is no fun.

It's like painting - once you've finally finished the prep, which is 90% of the effort, actually getting to paint is the reward

My problem is that the dev and stage environments are giving me 502 gateway errors when hitting only certain api endpoints from the app gateway. My real problem is devops aren't answering my support tickets and telling me which terraform var file I gotta muck with and tell me what to fix on it. I'm sure you'll be fixed soon though right copilot?

By the headline statement, that it should be complete and works 100%. Big doubt.

But... But I don't want it to. 😮‍💨

I would rather paint a portrait by myself, spending the time to do it, rather than asking some computer prompt to spit me out a picture. Same logic applies with coding for me.

If thats what they are aiming at, I feel like their AI is actually suppose to be the pilot and the user the copilot

These fuckers at MicroShit have lost all the ability needed to read a room.

Does its ai learn from people using vscode?

A more appropriate line would be that Copilot can shit out code faster than you can pinch off your own loaf.

Technically true, but nobody said the code will be at all functional. I'm pretty sure I can finish about 800000 coffees before Copilot generates anything usable that is longer than 3 lines.

I can drink coffee pretty slow, but I don't think I can drink it that slow
