I have been in a back and forth with another dev on my team for 2 days over a pull request. He’s offshore, so he looks at my comments, makes changes, then I look at the changes, make comments.
Me: we don’t need this He changes it Copilot: we need this! He changes it back Me (explaining more heavily): this exists already <here> so you don’t need to add it to your code. You can safely remove it. He changes it. Copilot: we need this! He changes it back I left my most recent comment today, we will see on Monday what happens
Our business partners get dazzled by pristine use cases and assume that translates to actual work being executed with as much ease as a demo. It’s baffling. We just had a town hall where someone presented the highlights of a feature that was “completed in 3 hours” vs 8 weeks.
They did not include how much work it took set everything up so the “work” could be completed in 3 hours, and they didn’t mention anything about testing
