    I work in software, every week I try to get copilot to entirely complete a simple work item as a benchmark of where the technology is up to.

    For the last month or two, I have had two models in copilot regularly successfully identify the problem, write unit tests and then fix production code. Only minor manual changes have been necessary.

    It’s getting to the point where the LLM is solving the problem and completing the work item in less time than most non-senior developers. No one is being fired as a direct result, but instead people are starting to work faster.

    The first six months was definitely a productivity loss though.
