It's easier to disable all the garbage than remove the garbage?

I use Copilot at work, it sucks. Any time I ask it to do anything it either can't do what I'm asking or it does it wrong. On top of that you have middle management who suggests using AI as the solution to everything but offers no further input on how to actually accomplish that goal.

Go ask the magic productivity fairy to magic you up some free productivity. Come on. All the business magazines swear the magic productivity fairy just hands out free productivity, so you must be doing something wrong.

Did you remember to add a drop of your blood to the milk saucer so you could bind it to your will? What about making a salt circle so it couldn't run away? Did you do your chant in transliterated fae or in enochian?

I recently had to port a bash script to POSIX because my boss demands we still use at, and wants exec to look like at -f.

99% of my time is spent in bash, so in conjunction with the POSIX spec documentation, Copilot was useful in finding a solution for >(and ...) redirection (logging related), as my bash solution was not compliant.

It was helpful, but I still took the time to locate examples in the spec, and validate every single answer I got.

Outside of this, it has basically never been more productive than doing my own searches, research & testing (sysadmin & "devops").
