Talked to a software engineer at Microsoft working on Copilot Studio today at a social event and he said he was ashamed that he hadn’t written a single line of code in over three months.

@chopsstephens Yep.

The entire industry is frantically sailing itself up shit creek at Ludicrous Speed.
@violetmadder @chopsstephens Sure looks that way.

@aral I heard a talk from someone, who said something similar, some months back. I'm worried

Talked to a software engineer at Microsoft working on Copilot Studio today at a social event and he said he was ashamed that he hadn’t written a single line of code in over three months. “I used to take pride in my work.” (They simply create plans in natural language and feed it to the LLM which generates the code. They can’t even do human code reviews anymore as there’s too much code being generated.)
He said a lot of them were waiting for a catastrophic event (something that would take down critical infrastructure) to get top management to reverse course. He seemed to think such a failure was very likely.
Given what we’ve been seeing recently, I tend to agree with him. Although I feel they will just double down. There’s too much money in the pot for them to fold.
@aral @glynmoody Yes well cue management that thinks it knows better what to do followed by knowing it better how to do it. Tic tic tic tic tic...

@aral And then they will demand government bail-outs to compensate them for their catastrophic losses.
And will get them.

In a minor aside, I was forced to use Copi-lot the other day to change a date field in an online Word document. No other way -
