It makes me uneasy because my role now, which is prompting copilot, isn't worth my salary.

Parable of the mechanic who charges $5k to hit a machine on the side once with a hammer to get it working. $5 for the hammer, $4995 for the knowledge of where to hit the machine etc etc.

I disagree. The amount of slop I need to code review has only increased, and the quality of the models doesn’t seem to be helping.

It still takes a good engineer to filter out what is slop and what isn’t. Ultimately that human problem will still require somebody to say no.
