I like how they present it as a novel idea, when this is as old as it gets. This is not new of course but it seems it won´t stop. Ever.

Time to quit using Github?

> When we introduced GitHub Copilot back in 2021, we had a clear goal: to make developers’ lives easier with an AI pair programmer that helps them write better code. The name reflects our belief that artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t replacing the developer.
Later:
> GitHub Copilot’s new agent mode is capable of iterating on its own code, recognizing errors, and fixing them automatically.
Is this Microsoft/GitHub acknowledging they initially missed the mark, except they aren't really clear in the post that they're abandoning the approach of "AI pair programmer / not replacing the developer"? Seems really strange to re-iterate their "clear goal" and then in the next paragraph go directly against their goal? Are they maybe afraid of a potential backslash if it became more clear that they're now looking to replace (some) developers / the boring parts of development?
I have no opinions either way, but the messaging of the post seems to go into all different directions, which seems strange.
They are not going to say "we are making an agent to replace programmers. We will use their code and their guidance to train it"

The problem with these large open source projects is that they are already on maintenance mode and the fun part has already been done a long ago. Who wants to work for months doing menial tasks so that when they "graduate" they can start doing maintenance.

HN is rapidly becoming reddit. There is where I expect to find specious and empty reasoning propped up entirely by weird anti-modernist rhetoric. This isn't even on topic for the original post.
Who are you, random internet weirdo, to indict seven billion people because of a company making and selling a drug. For a cranky libertarian hermit you sure have a lot to say about how the market is wrong.
When they have a similar solution for helping tamp down on severe alcoholism, I look forward to your equally ludicrous opinion about "people spending too much on alcohol" and "getting intake under control".
You couldn't even be bothered to cite one article that would prove spending more money is correlated with obesity. Luckily for me I have plenty that prove your claim is ridiculous on its face.
Drewnowski, Adam and SE Specter. “Poverty and obesity: the role of energy density and energy costs.” The American journal of clinical nutrition 79 1 (2004): 6-16 .

Have you tried the drug?
That is right on the money. The problem is many IT people believe in meritocracy to an absurd degree, a degree not found anywhere else.
I don´t know. Maybe we spend too much time alone in front of a monitor to understand what´s really going on.
