> How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon.

Maybe that's the problem? Imagine a Microsoft employee allowed to program only by using a CoPilot prompt, screaming and begging to just apply a patch he already written without touching anything else :D

This might not be too far from what's happening. In the dotnet repos you can see MS employees constantly fighting it across hundreds of PRs: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637

    lmao. They had an AI create a PR, then a human to review it, but then the human ended up using another AI to review the original AI.

      Looking that that PR and the interaction with CoPilot I struggle to see how it wouldn't have been easier to simply sidestep the AI.

        After all that noise, the clanker just says it can't do it and the PR is abandoned. I'd say it would have been easier to literally do nothing and have the same result.

        If a human wrote it, at least there would have been a possibility for learning or growth. This just looks like a waste of time for everyone.

    I never laughed so hard from watching a PR's comments.

      Seeing Copilot says this over and over again was hilarious: "The current implementation requires a complete rewrite..."
