I disagree with most of this. I'm kicking and screaming pretty hard, and yet I'm not one of the "I can do it better" folks. My whole career has been in open source. I'm all about choosing the right tool. I'm also tech lead on a team of seven, so I'm not writing a lot of code anyway. What I am doing all day is sending AI-generated code back to be rewritten, rethought, re-architected. I'm starting to think we would get more done if nobody on my team used Copilot.

Why is everyone acting like this is unknowable? Can’t you just look and see what the team’s output was like 2-3 years ago? Of course there might be long term risks that have a time lag and are thus not visible yet, but it shouldn’t be a complete mystery

Would you explain this - " I'm starting to think we would get more done if nobody on my team used Copilot." ?

Interesting to see if you why you see it destructive. I can certainly see that a lot of the times, copiloted solutions are working but less than ideal

Sounds like a "your team" problem, and not a tool problem...

I hate to break it to you...

If your team can write crap in Ruby, they can write crap in Rust, too.

And if they can write crap with AI, they can write crap without it, too.
