Before: open a spreadsheet, make a column a vlookup, filter, done
Now: write a prompt for copilot to generate the spreadsheet. Rewrite the prompt, rewrite one more time, finally a spreadsheet. Review spreadsheet, ask copilot why some columns are missing, new spreadsheet, review carefully, some numbers don't seem right, rewrite the prompt one more time. Give up, do it yourself, but tell your boss how much more productive you are so you don't get let go for not using AI.

I'll never forget the conversation i had with some people arguing that we shouldn't provide time off for having a kid and they were bemoaning having to do extra work and that if you can't afford care don't have a kid.
So i flipped it, I asked them how old an infant should be before they go to daycare, I went around the table, asking them one by one, how old they think their a child should be before fulltime day care, most settled on 6 months (which, lol) and seemed appalled when i said a lot of infants end up in day care as young as 6-12 weeks old.
I also pointed out that a boss not thinking ahead for a person not being around is poor planning on their part and you're the sucker who got tricked in to blaming a pregnant person instead of your employer, who had MONTHS to plan for this.

Its time once again time for everyone's favorite annual contest, Whamageddon!
The rules are simple
The Rules!
The 1st Rule
The objective is to go as long as possible without hearing WHAM's Christmas classic; "Last Christmas".
The 2nd Rule
The game starts on December 1st, and finishes at the end of December 24th.
Use your local timezone, if you'd like.
The 3rd Rule
Only the original version applies. Enjoy the ?#!$&%! out of remixes and covers.
The 4th Rule
You're out as soon as you recognise the song.
Bonus Rule
Post here with the #whamageddon hashtag when you get hit.
PvP?
While we can't stop you from deliberately sending your friends to Whamhalla, the intention is that this is a survival game. Not a Battle Royale. So ... don't be a dick, mkay?

So, let me see if I've got this right. A company is claiming they have a thinking machine that will replace software engineers by 2027. And instead of making a company that can out compete accenture, tata, etc, on time and cost, instead their main bath to profit is selling code generators to software engineers?
As they say, better to sell shovels in a gold rush.
