    I tried out the new copilot agent in VSCode and I spent more time undoing shit and hand holding than it would have taken to do it myself

    Things like asking it to make a directory matching a filename, then move the file in and append _v1 would result in files named simply “_v1” (this was a user case where we need legacy logic and new logic simultaneously for a lift and shift).

    When it was done I realized instead of moving the file it rewrote all the code in the file as well, adding several bugs.

    Granted I didn’t check the diffs thoroughly, so I don’t know when that happened and I just reset my repo back a few cookies and redid the work in a couple minutes.
