> I’ve had one bug that made it to production where I think copilot inserted code that I didn’t notice and which slipped past code review
I'm not saying this is good but come on. Humans do that all the time, why aren't we so harsh on humans?
> I am not now, nor have I ever been afraid that AI is coming after my job
I am. This thing amazed me, and even if it won't be able to 100% replace humans (which I doubt), it can make juniors orders of magnitude more productive for example. This will be a complete disruption of the industry and doesn't bode well for salaries.
I'm in the top x% of my profession, after 20 years of grinding. I'm unafraid. I don't see my salary taking a cut anytime soon. When I was searching for a job back in March, I had a 50% offer to response rate (if the company responded to my application.)
People who are just skating by may have cause for concern. But those are the people with the most to gain from it, so maybe not even them.
Demand is so high in the business, I have trouble imagining that any tool could make a meaningful impact on that.
It would need to multiply productivity by a huge number, and nothing has that impact. Copilot is barely, optimistically, above 10%. I don't really think I get that much, but just for arguments sake.
Broken window fallaccy. Software is so bad, that AI making is more productive won't put us out of work, it will make software suck a bit less. It eill5 make bugfixes and tech debt payback more affordable.
