Yeeep, I don’t understand it. I’ve always known some people were only in tech for the money rather than the genuine interest in software but apparently it’s most people given how most of my coworkers excitedly boast about not writing any code in weeks. Writing code is the only fun part of being a developer :(
It’s really disheartening. I originally pursued tech for the money but I fell in love with it as a sort of creative outlet a few years into my career. I actually WANT to make new tools but my coworkers immediately outsourced their brains and come asking me for help because the code they got from copilot (and didn’t test) is breaking something in production.
Happened to me just this week. Company has the problem that too many people report them to national board of consumer disputes. Copilot offered management a solution, a line that employees can call for advice if the customer threatens to sue and/or report.
Funny thing is, most reports are because AI told customer to report.
Hey it’s me at the office with my coworkers
Oof, same. It’s scary that it’s all the engineers at my office, I’d think they’d know better
