npub1vlwk8kweajdak2a5kemyalu4a3s9d4rux855uxvptrtua54xxd8syaxkpy (npub1vlw…xkpy) Counterpoint: Copilot should definitely not be used with dynamic languages.
When it makes shit up (& it does, a lot) in a statically-typed language the IDE flags it immediately. In a dynamic language it just created a potential runtime hazard.
Now multiply that up by inexperienced junior programmers.
Conclusion: Looks like consulting will be a really good option for funding comfortable retirements for programmers of a certain age.
