i use the autocomplete. i don’t use my company’s dumb bespoke plugins, but i do use my corporate GitHub token for Copilot. i almost never find agent modes to be less trouble than they’re worth.
finish writing this test? bang out this quick iteration or easy implementation? great.
implement this feature? do this refactor? i feel like i spend more time fixing the subtle mistakes and false assumptions than if i just did it myself. then i can also properly explain and document the work without blindly trusting an albeit impressive heuristics engine.
I don’t want to sound like I’m supporting this, but I really don’t understand how a person could not understand how to use AI. I’m sure they aren’t asking them to do anything advanced. They aren’t training models, they are using ChatGPT and Gemini type stuff.
Lots of people are very habitual and changing their workflow would literally have them get nothing done for weeks
Well, people who are unwilling to change get left behind. Story as old as time
