    My org has a policy of requesting us to use copilot as much as we can. Its also almost completely useless at my job, but its really good if i just write my functions and queries super sloppy and just get it to organize the text.

    Burning down an acre of rainforest and charging the company so i don’t have to press enter.

      Nah I want them to go all in. Seems like the world where that happens is the one where Amazon is most likely to collapse or at least emerge in a diminished state, which would be great. Fuck Amazon.
