At least we can tell the junior developers to not submit a pull-request before they have the tests running locally.
At what point does the human developers just give up and close the PRs as "AI garbage". Keep the ones that works, then just junk the rest. I feel that at some point entertaining the machine becomes unbearable and people just stops doing it or rage close the PRs.
When their performance reviews stop depending upon them not doing that.
Microsoft's stock price is dependent on them proving that this is a success.

Perhaps this explains the recent firings that affected faster CPython and other projects. While they throw money at AI but sucess still doesn't materialize, they need to make the books look good for yet another quarter through the old-school reliable method of laying off people left and right.
What happens when they can't prove that and development efficiency starts falling, because developers spend 50% of their time battling copilot?
they'll just add more and more half-baked features
it's not as if Microsoft's share price has ever reflected the quality of their products

All that's required is enough mental gymnastics for someone to feel like they can call it a success. At no point is it actually required to be one.

Remember what happened to the markets when deepseek came out?
I am shaking with laughter reading this phrase. You got me good here. It is the perfect repurpose of "rage quit" for the AI slop era. I hope that we see some MSFT employees go insane from responding to so many shitty PRs from LLMs.
One of my all time "rage quit" stories is Azer Koçulu of npm left-pad incident infamy. That guy is my Internet hero -- "fight the power".
Better yet, deploy their own LLM to close the PRs.
