  • I’ve been enjoying Copilot quite a bit while developing, particularly for languages that I’m not familiar with. I’m not worried about it replacing me, because I very clearly use my experience and knowledge to guide it and to coax answers out of it. But when you tell it exactly what you want, it’s really nice to get answers back in the development language without needing to look up syntax.

    “Give me some nice warning message css” was an easy, useful one.

    It’s effectively a better Google search.





  • I absolutely do. It’s not that the password was wrong. It’s that they wanted to invalidate all existing passwords and make you change it.

    The easiest way to do that is for them to force everyone through the “forgot password” workflow. Zero or minimal code changes. They don’t want to make a new, but very similar , “we had a security breach and are requiring you to change your password” workflow. They just don’t care that they’re blaming you for their problem.
