This bit is far more funny: > The VP who worked most against Copilot’s creation, would later tell me I didn’t deserve the promo. That person is now in charge of GitHub Copilot. It's a tale as old as time at Microsoft where a VP (who usually has a fake job if we're being real) tries to actively block things they have no actual understanding of, it goes out and is a massive success, and then they take credit and build an empire around it. Copilot will end up a worse product as a result of this dynamic. All you have to do is look at the anemic release of Copilot Chat, a preview of a product that people working on it should feel embarrassed about, to see how the shift has already happened. It's a shame, but it's how things work there. There are some high-level execs at Microsoft who are great, and it's a true joy when you work with them. But in my experience, many are completely lost on what their product area is even about anymore, or so actively steeped in org-level politics that they've lost their sense of how to actually Get Shit Done.
