I decided to do a bit of malicious compliance at work recently.
We’re under the gun to get a demo finalized and shipped. So I said “well, this is boring CRUD operations, I’ll let #copilot try.”
I laid out exactly what to do, and even created the files and left comments in them to give clues about where to put stuff.
And it did that! Great!
I’ve been fixing it since Tuesday. It would have been faster for me to have spent those two days doing it myself, and here I am on the weekend still fixing it.
Don’t worry, I made sure to document the process for internal consumption by decision makers.
Also I made sure I’d already done the original work myself by the end of the day Friday so I can just delete the copilot branch.
The real funny part here is: the thing I’m building is an application of an LLM for natural language commands and analysis.
