Two other observations I've found working with ChatGPT and Copilot:
First, until I can re-learn boundaries, they are a fiasco for work-life balance. It's way too easy to have a "hmm what if X" thought late at night or first thing in the morning, pop off a quick ticket from my phone, assign to Copilot, and then twenty minutes later I'm lying in bed reviewing a PR instead of having a shower, a proper breakfast, and fully entering into work headspace.
And on a similar thread, Copilot's willingness to tolerate infinite bikeshedding and refactoring is a hazard for actually getting stuff merged. Unlike a human colleague who loses patience after a round or two of review, Copilot is happy to keep changing things up and endlessly iterating on minutiae. Copilot code reviews are exhausting to read through because it's just so much text, so much back and forth, every little change with big explanations, acknowledgments, replies, etc.
- astrange 1y agoI've found this with Claude Code too. It has nonstop energy (until you run out of tokens) and is always a little too eager to make random edits, which means it's somehow very tiring to use even though you're not doing anything. But it is the most productive intern I've ever pair programmed with. The real ones hallucinate about as often too.
