Not really. I’m using Copilot for my job because I’m required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it’s okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

Every experiment I’ve run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available… I have no fucking idea how these “AI” companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like yarn build, with direct human oversight.

That’s it. That’s the only situation.

Yep, it’s a rule in the sidebar. But this one is so goddamn bonkers I’m making an exception.

Nope. That I will not do. There’s no requirement that someone respect the rule of law to comment here.

17 months, 25 days of fucking around, followed by five days of hurriedly entering prompts into ChatGPT?

You should read the community info on the sidebar. In short, this is a humorous community that shares real news stories that seem like they could be from The Onion.

So posts should be actual links to news reports with their original headlines, but only news stories that are weird enough that they read like headlines from The Onion are appropriate.

The name “Not The Onion” is a joke, because the news stories here are supposed to be real but make you think you’re reading satire.

Uh, re-read the post. Political news stories aren’t banned here, they just have to have headlines that read like they’re from The Onion. Lots of political posts here haven’t been Onion-like at all. That’s what’s against the rules.

Fixed that.

Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it’s so fucking idiotic.

Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid… But goddamn, he’s also incredibly stupid.

We’re pretty stupid over here right now. Sorry, world.

It’s old, but… I’ll allow it.

Also…

Dingdong. Willy. Johnson. One-eyed sailor. Trouser snake.

Now it’s your turn.

Here’s one!

The Alex Jones one actually gave me a good “That’s pretty Onion-y” hit.

Yes, but if you report them, I find them faster.

And people will fall for it. Again.

Jesus fucking Christ I hate this timeline.

Sorry guys, this one’s locked now. Y’all need to grow the fuck up.
