Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.

I’m forced to use Copilot at work and as far as code completion goes, it gets it right 10-15% of the times… the rest of the time it just suggests random — credible-looking — noise or hallucinates variables and shit.

  Pay my bills. Thanks.
  I’ve been dusting off the CV, for multiple other reasons.

    how surprising! /s
    
    but seriously, it’s almost never one (1) thing that goes wrong when some idiotic mandate gets handed down from management.
    
    a manager that mandates use of copilot (or any tool unfit for any given job), that’s a manager that’s going to mandate a bunch of other nonsensical shit that gets in the way of work. every time.

    It’s an at-scale company, orders came from way above. As did RTO after 2 years full-at-home, etc, etc.
