One issue with copilot is that debugging broken code is far harder than writing it in the first place. We've seen similar transitions before though. When good optimizing compilers started appearing you had plenty of programmers like Mel [1] that said 'there's no art in it, a compiler couldn't do the kind of optimizations I do'. And yeah, it's true, but compilers got good enough that 99% of people stopped caring and hardcore optimization became a niche skill few people have. What does the industry look like when all that most programmers know is debugging generated code and what kinds of tools need to exist to support that?
