GitHub Copilot withdrawal

Nov 25, 2022 • Yousef Amar • 1 min read

Yesterday GitHub Copilot engineers borked production and I felt like someone had suddenly turned the lights off.

I hadn't realised how accustomed I had become to using it until this happened. I would make my intent clear in the code, then wait for it to do its thing, then it just wouldn't. Y'all got any more of them AIs?

At the same time, the next time you deploy a bad build to production, remember that even the big guys do it!
