will this sure is gonna go well :sarcmark:

it almost feels like when Google+ got shoved into every google product because someone had a bee in their bonnet

flipside, I guess, is that we'll soon (at scale!) get to start seeing just how far those ideas can and can't scale

Yeah, that always perplexed me. Copilot is a terrible tool if you're using it in a domain you aren't already proficient in, because it will mess up. And even worse, it'll mess up in subtle ways that most people wouldn't do themselves. You need to know what you're doing to babysit it and ensure it doesn't fuck everything up.
