I'm witnessing professionals spending hours to engineer prompts for Copilot to do basic things like find a line in a file that has a string in it, or figure out who committed most frequently to a sub-path in a repository, or generate boiler plate code for classes.. None of these things require #AI. `grep`, `git log..`, and editor snippets have existed for a long time. They are quick. They are EXACT. They are FREE. They do not boil the oceans. They do not displace the workforce. They are more efficient and productive.

I unironically save time by simply writing the scripts and code to do this myself, even putting the ideological problems aside, why would anyone worth their salt in the tech industry use a system that slows them down? the answer is they won't
