Twice now I’ve experienced the fallout of bugs in my coworkers code and when I looked into it the bug was introduced by Copilot.

Think about that for a second.

I’m trying to accept that everyone I talk to at work about these systems (I won’t dignify them by using the term “intelligence”) ignores my warnings and treats me like a fool for refusing to use them, but now I have to clean up the mess others make by trusting these things.

This isn’t sustainable.
