We use copilot literally every day and it's extremely helpful, literally not a single developer at our company disagreed on the most recent adoption survey.

Maybe you're trying to use it to do too much, or in the wrong way?

Oh I'm glad you're the be all know all arbiter of all software developers, and not just some grump on the internet.

Its not about writing easy entry programs, it's about writing code robustly.

Writing out test code where tests are isolated from each other, cover every edge case, and test every line of code, is tedious but pays dividends. AI makes it far less tedious to write out that test code and practice proper test driven development.

A well run dev team with enough senior people that manages the change properly should increase in velocity if they're already writing robust code, and increase in code quality if they're not.

Pointing this out in company wide meetings is a fun past time.

It does save a lot of time and effort, and does lead to better code in the hands of a skilled developer. Writing out thorough test code and actually doing proper test driven development suddenly becomes a lot less onerous.

Their graph also has no numbers and is just there to help visualize the difference they're referring to.

Read the article before commenting.

The literal entire thesis is that AI should maintain developer headcounts and just let them be more productive, not reduce headcount in favour of AI.

The irony is that you're putting in less effort and critical thought into your comment than an AI would.

I told my work that I will not be travelling to the US under any circumstances until there's no risk of me being detained in an ICE prison.

Realistically I will not be travelling there for any reason for years to decades at this point. America as a country needs to go fuck itself for a while so it can really learn the lesson of how productive that is.

The fact that AutoCAD needs tutorials like this is a bit of a UX smell for AutoCAD itself...

But regardless, to echo someone else, I would suggest aiming at corporations. On a personal level, I would just use YouTube videos for free, and quite frankly would invest my time in learning something open source like Blender rather than something closed like AutoCAD or Fusion.

Honestly yeah. I grew up a habs fan in a leafs town and at some point the teasing about the leafs playoff-imploding started to feel like punching down.

Also, with the Leafs fanbase and media circus, it has started to feel like those scenes in movies where a kid does something bad and the teacher is about to reprimand them, but then sees how abusive their parents are and feels compelled to jump to their defense instead. Toronto fans started being meaner to Toronto than we ever could be.

Sweeney is not lionized as a false saviour.

Newell is.
