      Honestly I’ve been recommending setting up a personal git store and cloning any project you like, I imagine the next phase of this is Microsoft making a claim that if Copilot ‘assisted’ all these projects, Microsoft is a part owner of all these projects - in a gambit to swallow and own open source.

      I am surprised they aren’t embracing it… I would. You immediately get some vague non person to blame all your failures on.

      Employers aren’t loyal enough for the average person to care about their companies well being.

        I agree, let them generate massive tech debt cause right now the majority of my current clients have hired me to clean up their AI slop.

        is it bad for their users? oh hell yes it is. Is it great for me an other consultants/freelancers? hell yes it is. Best thing that’s ever happened to my wallet recently are vibe coders. I love those dumb prompt monkeys.
