Copilot ( and others in it's class) is a paradigm shift:
What is software development: let AI generate most code then REVIEW code for accuracy, completion, security etc.. and test it
What is NOT software development : "solving age old problems" via Stackoverflow
By 2030 tools like Copilot create 'two-tier programmers'
-Tier 1 (squeeze 10x from Copilot) : writes 'prompts' and 'function signatures' for AI tools likes of CoPilot as part of technical design, from which Copilot will generate 80% of the code
-Tier 2: will check completeness & execute generated test suite
