I essentially said this in a sibling post whose parent asked why it seems like nobody knows the codebase anymore except my post was immediately flagged.

I think this is the logical conclusion of using copilot to write your stuff for the last two years. Nobody knows what it does and more and more bugs are being solved by just pointing the AI back to it again. Combine with the fact that so many people have been laid off and replaced with copilot I'm not surprised that the few who remain aren't quite sure how to solve it

And yet, for some reason, we have to _prove_ this is the case, as though in the history of time, engineering something has ever proven ok as a careless endeavor.
