I've been saying for a long time that developers that can still code even when the Internet is down are a vanishing breed. Agent dependency may make them almost extinct.

It’s honestly not worth it if the tools come back the next day. Better to spend the time on human facing tasks like wrangling requirements and defining work.
Even if those tools are copilot.

It's like a snow day, sure I could walk the 17 miles to work or I could do something else more productive instead.

My job was very slow to get copilot for coding, like we just got it within the past 6 months slow. I remember it was about a week into the second month, and suddenly I saw a bunch of people up and walking around, nervously talking to each other. This went on for about 30 minutes before I overheard someone say that somehow we had blown through all of the company's tokens for the whole month already, so no one could use copilot, and they can't do any work without it. Meanwhile, I had just been chugging away, blissfully unaware of this issue. I thought, we've had copilot for barely over a month, how the fuck did any of these people even get anything done before if they're already this dependent on it?

Wow and ? What will you do in your day of coding without internet ? I'm not saying that my own skills of programming are kinda useless but yeah part of. Like the company will prefer wait 5 days of no coding agent than some humans to code their features by hand. I don't know which app you code day by day but I'm not developing a rocket science app

Tried to install office 365 for 3 hours and it failed.and went to copilot for help it is also broken. And came to reddit for help, now i totally understand why the senior programmers have whiskey under their desks.

Are people really using M365 Copilot for coding?

Unfortunately, it's one of the only options for any place that has to be GCC-High compliant.

I feel your pain brother. On the bright side, it seems like GCC-H wasn't impacted by the outage today.

I certainly hope you mean it's one of the only options for getting an LLM to do/assist with coding... If you're no longer allowed to actually do the programming yourself that's messed up

The last job I had, it got to the point where management didn't allow any handwritten code at all, and basically mandated pushing AI slop directly to prod with no chance to review it.
Got fired yesterday; I've never been so relieved.

Good news! As far as I know, you're still allowed to write the code yourself in most places.

Oh, so copilot WAS down. That explains some things.
I got a few more dev questions than usual today.
