It says it will finish the code, it doesn’t say the code will work.
I was going to say. The code won’t compile but it will be “finished “
A couple agent iterations will compile. Definitely won’t do what you wanted though, and if it does it will be the dumbest way possible.
Yeah you can definitely bully AI into giving you some thing that will run if you yell at it long enough. I don’t have that kind of patience
Edit: typically I see it just silently dump errors to /dev/null if you complain about it not working lol
And people say that AI isn’t humanlike. That’s peak human behavior right there, having to bother someone out of procrastination mode.
The edit makes it even better, swiping things under the rug? Hell yeah!
Copilot keeps finishing my code for me in near real time… it completely disrupts my train of thought and my productivity dropped tremendously. I finally disabled it.
I LIKE writing code, stop trying to take the stuff away that I WANT to do and instead take away the stuff I HATE doing.
What I don’t want AI to do:
- write code for me
- write fixes for me
What I want it to do:
- find bugs and tell me about them (but still don’t fix them)
They do have ones that will review your prs. That’s pretty neat
Yeah, I just wrote a blog post comment about how I enjoy using Copilot. But that’s when I explicitly ask it a question or give it a task. The auto complete is wrong more often than it’s right.
Probably doesn’t help that if it was tedious, boilerplate code I would have already explicitly asked it.
yes but all the code will be wrong and you will spend your entire day chasing stupid mistakes and hallucinations in the code. I’d rather just write the code myself thanks.
Yeah! I can make my own stupid mistakes and hallucinations, thank you very much!
What they forget to mention is that you then spend the rest of the week to fix the bugs it introduced and to explain why your code deleted the production database…
I was finished with Windows before Microshit finished Copilot.
“Microsoft Says Copilot” is like a Two Sentence horror story for me now.
So why don’t they use it to unfuck Windows 11… before I finish my coffee?
Actually it won’t be finishing anything because code is disposable now and nobody cares what trivial app somebody can churn out
Love how they’re pretending that an LLM is useful for any task that needs precision.
And it will leave you debugging strange code for two weeks afterward.

Just enjoying this popcorn.
But… But I don’t want it to. 😮💨
Writing code is the reward for doing the thinking. If the LLM does it then software engineering is no fun.
It’s like painting - once you’ve finally finished the prep, which is 90% of the effort, actually getting to paint is the reward
By the headline statement, that it should be complete and works 100%. Big doubt.
No, just complete. Whatever the dude does may have nothing to do with what you needed it to do, but it will be “done”
Depends. If it’s a script that will like, cut your video file every 10 seconds with ffmpeg or something simple. Yeah it will one-shot it.
A more appropriate line would be that Copilot can shit out code faster than you can pinch off your own loaf.
