This is pure junior energy. Or trolling, I honestly can’t tell.
OP makes a valid point, and a strong one to boot.
Other than name calling, do you have anything to add?
I don’t use chat, it’s usually useless.
I think Chat is the most useful feature of Copilot. Prompts like /docs work impeccably, but /explain and /optimize is also pretty good. /tests is hit-and-miss if you have zero tests and require too much context if you already have them. More often than not /fix is a waste of time.
Where I found Copilot to be quite useful is something unexpected: naming things. You can prompt it to give suggestions, you can ask it to refactor things for you. Quite nice.
I think that Claude is far better at generating code, and explore new stuff, but Claude is also down and broken extremely often,not to mention it's annoying limit of 10 questions per half a day.
Taking UK as an example, you can call yourself civil engineer all day long without having to worry any legal consequences because there simply is no such thing as a licensing system for engineers.
Britain's Engineering Council disagrees.

I’m not sold on user replaceable phone batteries, but USB-C was a long time coming.
As someone who had a perfectly fine Android smartphone die because its battery went dead, and had to replace it with an off-brand one to keep it ticking... I can assure you that the lack of support for user-replaceable phone batteries is forcing people to throw away perfectly good hardware.
There are parallels to be drawn between licensed professionals (like doctors, CPAs, lawyers, civil engineers) that they all have time under a professional and the professional then signs off and bears some responsibility vouching for a trainee.
We need to keep in mind that the main value proposition of these licenses is to bar people from practicing. There is no other purpose.
In some activities this gatekeeping mechanismo is well justified: a doctor who kills people out of incompetence should be prevented from practicing, and so do accountants who embezzle and civil engineers who get people killed by designing and building subpar things.
Your average software developers doesn't handle stuff that gets people killed. Society gains nothing by preventing a software developer from implementing a button in a social network webapp.
You can always find a new shitshow
Having to deal with different volumes and types of shit can be a very welcomed move. Perfect is the enemy of good.
I'm not sure you understand that what a union does or does not do is completely irrelevant and besides the point. Python's protocols add support for structural subtyping, and enable both runtime and build-time type checks without requiring major code changes. Don't you understand what that means?
I don't think I agree. The role of a sysadmin involved a lot of hand-holding and wrangling low-level details required to keep servers running. DevOps are something completely different. They handle specific infrastructure such as pipelines and deployment scripts, and are in the business of not getting in the way of developers.
