Agreed.

If you're getting paid to ship features, no one cares whether you're learning, or learning the "correct" way. You simply have to get the job done. If tools like copilot help you meet your goals and budget, then they are a good thing.

I heard the same thing in the 90s when Java (and even C++) came on the scene. The C programmers bristled at the idea that you no longer had to deal with memory management. They thought it would make the programmers sloppy, generating poorly performing code bases.

They were right, and it didn't matter.

A generation later, most C programmers are bad at performance anyway. And they get segfaults.

The funny thing is that is the same example I was thinking of.
