Weird flex or whatever dude. But all I’m hearing is that your anxiety has led you to a) refuse to look into a new piece of technology, b) hold incorrect views on it (like that it’s only useful for boilerplate code), c) look down on those that ARE using it, and d) pose that your incredible experience is why this wouldn’t be useful to you.

If you can’t find your drive to look at new things enough to even see if they’re worth digging more into, which you seemingly haven’t, then I think this speaks poorly of you as a developer.

I'm sorry, but I do not get why you're making it personal and attacking my worth as a developer because I am doubtful about what Copilot can do for me.

It is possible to disagree without being rude and insulting.

I think you're speaking to a, most likely, young developer. Having dealt with many similar sentiments, a few more years usually smooths this out. I always wonder if tech work is good for certain personalities, it's quite easy to carry on with a misanthropic communication style and still succeed

Being polite to others costs nothing and makes this a better place for everyone.

Personal insults are particularly destructive to civilized discourse.
