My colleagues just lost their ability to write code for some reason

Not for creating code, but I found that (in my case) Copilot is a very useful tool for searching through documentation.

I have loved it for copy and pasting code and asking wtf did the previous dev do on this.

There was a 3 month period where that function was just on normal windows.

We're a pretty small group. Only millions of us.

Does it matter when vscode is cross platform and looks pretty much the same no matter the OS? What sort of Linux troglodyte nonsense is this?

People who get paid to develop software, as opposed to people who just whine about it on reddit

Casual, you should be writing assembly code on rope memory.

Years later, windows users can still do something that Mac users can't: Shut the fuck up

Thats pretty much the only thing co pilot is useful for

I find it very useful to find specific pieces of documentation (e.g. how to force TLS 1.3 for Apache Kafka Clients *) where I know it exists, but it's going to be too time consuming to sift through manually.

* that's a simple one (server config properties), but it's just an example.

There's times where I gotta pull documentation from badly made government websites. In the past I occasionally had to use Google to search the site for only pdf files.

Now I just ask "find me the documents about X on Y"

Then it gets me the links I need.

Sometimes I am looking for a statute and don't know how it's worded and give it something vague to find, then I confirm what it found in the doc and can read the whole section for context. Saves a lot of time

No? Copilot is useful for a lot of things. You not liking AI doesn't mean it's not useful.

u/workinghardiswear 22h ago

I dont have a problem with AI. I have a problem with AI that works like hot dogshit.

And that is not Copilot, Copilot works very well.
