Despite my ethical objections I’m being force to use at least a _token_ amount copilot tokens at work to stay off of a naughty list. I’ve mostly just used it to do a preliminary code review before I open PRs, but today I one-shotted a 1000 line bash script that polls our flaky CI/CD pipeline and re-adds failed builds to the merge queue so I don’t have to babysit my own PR merges.
I spent a couple hours up front playing PO and documenting exactly what I wanted and how, but it probably would have taken me a few days to dig through the CI api docs, gh docs, get the syntax right for graphql & jq, etc to write myself, while sonnet 5 turned my spec into a working script in less than 10 minutes.
I can see how some might get addicted to this if it wasn’t an environmental and ethical nightmare.
