I'm afraid your sarcasm is lost on me.

Yes. Your reading comprehension is horrible, influenced by your motivated reasoning, probably in an attempt to protect your ego.

Perhaps if you were to provide an actual quote from the book that you've linked to

Why would I provide anything for someone who is acting like an asshole? If every organic chemist in the world came to you and told you that you were wrong, you still would argue against them. The root of your problem is reading comprehension fails.

Also, you write like you learned organic chemistry in the 90s or something.

I was working on a twenty-year-old Java project which had very few unit tests last year. In a couple of days with Copilot I added tests for a couple of hundred classes; for the simple ones it generated the entire test and I just needed to run it, for more complex classes it needed more help since it didn't understand things like not trying to mock final classes. The tests also found a handful of bugs that had been in the code for years so I fixed them.

What kind of code coverage did you get from your tests?

I think it would be more interesting to look at what Copilot did for those 20M users.

While true, Microsoft has a long tradition of only showing the numbers that make themselves look good..

As an example, when Windows Phone 7 was released, they cited several millions of downloads of their IDE, instead of declaring the total number of phones sold. That is why we are up to WindowsPhone 17 today.
