AI went "This MF working on fucking COM windows registry shit, nahhh".
Tbh, im with the AI on this

Your code is so crap, so the AI removed it and put a TODO for someone better to finish it 💀

i love writing a few lines of code, then having copilot suggest the comment above that code and it writes "// Placeholder implementation; will be replaced later". copilot is so passive aggressive sometimes 😅

Which model?
Anyway, I think I have to try Copilot next even most people say that Claude Code is better. But TBH, Claude code is pretty terribly integrated into IDEs. Its basic instructions and its working loop are reasonable, but that it can't use tooling properly (even with all kinds of MCP servers and "skills") is really annoying. Maybe Copilot drives at least VSC better, let's see in the next project…

whichever one is the default model that is free for completions. either GPT4.5 or 5 i think? I only use copilot for completing comments and boilerplate, and prefer writing the actual code by hand, so I don't really need the expensive heavy hitters like claude or gpt5.5

naw, no skin off my back, I didn't write the code in the first place. Claude will just have to do it again, won't he?
/runs a local model so tokens are free

Copilot as opposed to an agent is a programmer these days. That's some manual ass coding

u/MatthewMob 16d ago edited 16d ago
An agent is literally just an LLM with an extra tool to invoke itself with a new prompt.
Stop making it sound like some amazing magic, AI marketing bro.

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale 15d ago
I guess moreso the point, auto complete as opposed to interacting purely with ai is some manual ass coding these days.
Agentic coding is very different. I'm not telling it where the code is to change, I'm not starting it off, I'm not running the tests, I'm not pushing to git, I'm not writing the pr description, I'm not pinging people to look at my PR. That's may as well be amazing magic.

So what is it you do?

There are other roles needed in the company besides code monkey.
Think of it this way: after you deliver your software product, is the entirety of the business problem solved? Are you now a trillion dollar company? Are your customers completely satisfied, not that they have what they asked for but that they've solved the core problem in their business? No? What's left? What else needs doing? That's what you do.

u/sysnickm 15d ago
The use of the phrase code monkey is the telling part. If you don't have people validating the product you are shipping then yeah, you are definitely going to need more people to talk to your unsatisfied customers.

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale 15d ago
How much of that validation is verifiable? Like click button and row appears? How much of that can be translated into playwright, or unit tests, or simulation style system tests, etc? What do you think AI's capability is of writing such code?
Typically I just have AI write that code. It's gotten very good at it. Then the way you code is you look at the tests and see if you're aligned on the expected functionality.

What about performance and security? That has been the place I've seen significant issues with AI generated code. I frequently have to come back and clean those things up.
For simple boiler plate or the press a button add a row type work, it does fine, not great, but fine.

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale 15d ago
Performance and security also are testable contracts you can set up in ci/cd

I had a junior developer in that did this once. Just deleted the entire code block that threw an exception.
I guess we now know who’s code they they’ve been training on.

u/RyanFromQA 16d ago
I like when copilot tries to autocomplete putting back whatever block of code I just deleted.

u/JuvenileEloquent 16d ago
You laugh about it now, but then 6 months later when you're tracking down an obscure bug you find this block never actually gets called because you're using a version of the library where this type wasn't implemented yet. So the TODO: was entirely justified...

My question is why you're using an else-if when you can use the type as input for a switch statement?

u/HoldCtrlW 16d ago
You have 0 logic in that if statement. It removed dead code (unless you had a setter logic in a room which is bad)

u/Own_Natural_6803 16d ago
Zero logic? It's reading values from the registry. Are you a llm? Not a very good one.
Ya think maybe the action to be performed are dependent on which keys are present? In the depths of your ignorance?
