This is exactly how I’ve used copilot for over a year now. It’s really helpful! Especially with repetitive code. Certainly worth what my employer pays for it.

- robertlagrant 2y agoMaking a simple app isn't evidence that it will replace people, any more than a 90%-good self-driving car is evidence that we'll get a 100%-good self-driving car.
- ktnaWA 2y agoWhich industry would you pivot to? The only industry that is desperate for workers right now is the defense industry. But manufacturing shells for Ukraine and Israel does not seem appealing.

- simplyluke 2y agoI was a hacker before the entire stack I work in was common or released, and I’ll be one when all our tools change again in the future. I have family who programmed with punch cards. But I doubt the predictions from men whose net worth depends on the hype they foment.
