Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.

“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”

Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”

“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.

Would love to know how you finagle Copilot to be useful, the code it generates and the things it suggests make me throw my hands up like 9/10.

Once in a blue moon I try to use it again, and it's laughable. It's like I told someone non-technical to do something super technical and... it's just 100% discard or 50% rewrite. I guess it just feels like it isn't saving me any time so...why?

For context I've only used it in VS Code or Visual Studio. If there is some other avenue or process that's better, let me know.

I'm usually just very targeted in what I ask it to do. I keep it to things I know will be in the basic reference books or on stack overflow. It basically just saves me from having to look up and apply existing examples to my code.

It makes for a pretty good ORM.
