It’s one step closer, but still a good ways away. - you still need to understand the code that copilot is writing, it just turns it from a recall/synthesis problem into a recognition problem - most of the work above the level of a junior engineer isn’t about writing the actual code, it’s the systems design, architecture, communicating with external stakeholders, addressing edge cases, tech debt management, etc.
