It's good that machine learning is taking over the coding part, so we can focus all our engineering efforts on meetings...

Personally, I'd love to use machine learning to automate the meetings instead.

And then all the meetings are about how you make time for resolving all the bugs introduced by copilot. But you can't cancel any meetings, so you need to create a new meeting because it is a new issue. And copilot is cheap so why not just buy more compute time? Surely that's cheaper because humans and machine solve problems in the amount of time and to the same degree of satisfaction, right? We should probably schedule a meeting so we can make a project to find out. We can probably find out if we measure the number of lines of code each can write. It'll be easy.

The old ‘could this meeting be an email?’. Rarely wrong, always controversial.
