You see, I wanted to be petty and do another dismissive reply, but instead I fed our convo to copilot and asked it to explain, here you go, as you can see I have previously used it for coding tasks, so I didn’t feed it any extra info, so there you go, even copilot can understand the huge “leap” I made in logic. goddamn the sweet taste of irony.

Copilot reply:

Certainly! Here’s an explanation Person B could consider:

The implied logic in Person A’s argument is that if you distrust code written by Copilot (or any AI tool) simply because it wasn’t written by you, then by the same reasoning, you should also distrust code written by junior developers, since that code also isn’t written by you and may have mistakes or lack experience.

However, in real-world software development, teams regularly review, test, and maintain code written by others—including juniors, seniors, and even AI tools. The quality of code depends on review processes, testing, and collaboration, not just on who wrote it. Dismissing Copilot-generated code outright is similar to dismissing the contributions of junior developers, which isn’t practical or productive in a collaborative environment.

Wouldn’t it be easier to strike a support deal with the libre office developers and just give them the money to do it?

Do you use an IDE for writing your code or do you use a notepad like a “real” programmer? An IDE like Intellij has fancy shit like generating getters, setters, constructors, equals hashscode, you should never use those, real programmers write those by hand.

Your attention detail is very good btw, which I am ofc being sarcastic about because if you had any you’d have noticed I have never said I write my code with chat gpt, I said Unit tests, sql for unit tests.

Ofc attention to detail is not a requirement of software engineering so you should be good. (This was also sarcasm I feel like you need this to be pointed out for you).

Also by your implied logic that the code being not written by you = bad, no company should ever hire Junior engineers, I mean what are you gonna do? Fucking read the code they wrote?

Lmao, okay buddy, based on how many interviews I have sat on in, the chances that you are a worse programmer than me are much higher than you being better than me.

Being a pompous ass dismissive of new tooling makes you chances even worse 😕

For me as a software developer the accuracy is more in the 95%+ range.

On one hand the built in copilot chat widget in Intellij basically replaces a lot my google queries.

On the other hand it is rather fucking good at executing some rewrites that is a fucking chore to do manually, but can easily be done by copilot.

Imagine you have a script that initializes your DB with some test data. You have an Insert into statement with lots of columns and rows so

Inser into (column1,…,column n) Values row1, Row 2 Row n

Addig a new column with test data for each row is a PITA, but copilot handles it without issue.

Similarly when writing unit tests you do a lot of edge case testing which is a bunch of almost same looking tests with maybe one variable changing, at most you write one of those tests, then copilot will auto generate the rest after you name the next unit test, pretty good at guessing what you want to do in that test, at least with my naming scheme.

So yeah, it’s way overrated for many-many things, but for programming it’s a pretty awesome productivity tool.

I mean, technically it is

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Not sure if you know about it and I haven’t used it myself yet, but being able to create native executables could be relatively easy with this

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/packaging/native-image/index.html

I really want one, but I am 197 cm tall, I don’t think I can fit in one.

I picked up a cast Iron and absolutely hate it, so much work with it and still stuff sticks, I also don’t think it’s good for induction stoves as the middle gets way hotter than the rest.

Why should other countries get involved? There was already a documentary made about how this will play out, we just need some part of the US to take up arms against it’s oppressors

I just shopped for a humidifier, purposely avoided anything “smart”, I ended up with a really fucking simple one, it has a hydrostat and can aim to automatically reach a level you want (40-50-60), has 4 speed,1,2,3,auto and sleep.

And the whole thing is nothing else just a wicking filter sitting in water that has a fan pointed at it, I think Technology Connectios would be proud of my purchase.

I will have to disinfect and change filters, but no need for distilled water like with ultrasonic humidifiers, and I boil my water and let it cool back to room temperature before adding it to the humidifier, hopefully that will help with staving off build up of bacteria

Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country.

As I said I am pretty sure they can’t even properly invade ukraine and are struggling there.

The only country in NATO that have done that is the US.

I am not an expert on this but I am pretty sure a bunch of EU countries joined the US in afghanistan.

Russia is losing against Ukraine, the fuck they gonna do against EU, unless they use nukes in which case who cares, it’s game over

Like, a lot, also vast majority of open source projects are on github.

South Park did this 2 tears ago, lol

On a lot of then you mysteriously start getting likes and matches when you start using them less or your premium is about to run out or just ran out.

It’s almost as if when the profit is in having paying users then keeping people on the platform is the optimal working app not the one where you date and successfully leave.

Oh no, anyways.

Edit: As if your fucking code isnt hosted on github, own by fuck knows who

Is it though? Or is it wishful thinking?

I used EndeavorOS in the past which was a successor to AntergOS, both arch based, with gui installer and easy nvidia driver setup, they both worked like a charm without any issues (unlike fucking Manjaro).
