That’s a very low bar. It’s easy to get a program to compile. And if it’s interpreted, you can coast for months with no crashes, just corrupted state.
The issue is not that they can’t code, it’s that they can’t problem solve and can’t design.
Yeah, but integrating manually is more likely to force them to think than if the agent just does everything. You used to have to search stackoverflow, which requires articulating the problem. Now you can just tell copilot to fix it.
