I was reviewing a PR this evening at work for something urgent.
All of the ~30 new unit tests this person added to cover their edits failed. I looked at the tests and started figuring out what needed to be fixed, and provided the first fix. Then they failed for a different reason.
I asked the person if they’d run any of the tests before submitting the PR. “Well Copilot made them.”

Dear junior code writer,
The word “refactor” is not a synonym for “modify” or “update”.
When you add your email address to the list of addresses to be notified of a change, and say “refactored email list” as your commit message, you look like a jackass.

Wait! What do you mean there’s no way to search the committed code in a feature branch on github.com?
GitHub.com is Microsoft’s all-in-one enterprise source control platform, and you’re telling me searches can only be done on the repo’s default branch?
Are you f***ing kidding me with this s***?
But hey at least you found a way to charge us all kinds of service fees with that Copilot integration.
