I don't get the downvotes. I've hired probably 30+ engineers over the last 5 or so years, and have been writing code professionally for over 20, and I fully agree with your sentiment.

It's just the general ai hate. It's not surprising, because machine learning is yet another scam area. But for programming you would be a complete fool to ignore copilot mastery since paper after paper proves it has completely revolutionised productivity. And it's not normal to think you will be better than everyone when not using an assistant, it's just the new paradigm. For starters it has made stack overflow be almost obsolete and it was the next most important tool..
