I just installed the beta of the new Chat version of GitHub Copilot and I've been using it for a couple of days.
I had this thought:
I wonder how long it will be before employers start using some version of Copilot (or whatever name they give it) to measure developers' performance?
It won't just be number of lines written anymore, it will be the quality of the code that gets measured.
Do you think that will happen?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Can Co-Pilot really identify quality code or nasty bugs that get fixed with some letters or a couple lines but get a dev busy for some days / weeks? If not... then it won't be a good idea.
Additionally there are parts of the job that have nothing to do with code writing and can be time intensive too. Clarifying specs, talking with customers / providers, organisational things, creating the concept / structure...
Product owner, product designer, system architect and other similar roles are very difficult to evaluate using those kind of metrics.

Totally agree. That's what formed the basis of my question - just how unfair it would be.

If it can count Function Points, and you keep track of how long it took to develop those points, then it can help with future estimating. And, yes, be able to say how many function points Programmer A delivers on average over a certain time frame.
Function point - Wikipedia
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Versus those that already attempted that using other tools/processes in the past decades?
Most companies have better things to do with their time. And most find it hard enough to hire developers, so annoying the ones that work there usually isn't something they want to get involved with.

I hope you're right.

Ah, you poor sod - I feel for you. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Hope you get well soon - I found for a while after that even trying to think hard made my head hurt almost immediately as I needed more O2 and wasn't getting it.
I went to bed and stayed there until it was over ...

Be careful and have a phone with someone fast dial near you (if you are alone at home).
My older brother was too proud to ask for help when he got it and he lost around 20 kilos in 1 week (nothing in the fridge and not going / sending anyone to the grocery, besides of no energy to cook the few he had) and ended paying the highest price (he died while sleeping due to pulmonar embolism)

I have a pulse oximeter at home and have been watching my O2 levels. All above 97% so far.
I think I will be fine, it is going to take time with this one.
I have had all my vaccines and boosters. So, hopefully, no visits to the hospital.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
We all got it in January 2022 (even the babies 6 weeks old), we all got it relative light, my wife got hit at hardest but everyone was negative within 10 days and no sequels, at least not noticeable yet 1,5 years later.

I feel sad about your post. Hope the family is OK.
I have sisters and I could not imagine losing one to this terrible disease.

Our father and his daughter got a hard hit. I was more angry than sad, because he could have avoided it, just swallowing his pride and stubbornness. At the end was his own decission.

Understand.
My generation and probably your Father's have not faced this type of powerful
infection and not tuned into the danger and I would be angry as well.
Damn covid.

Took us a month to totally recover, good luck!
Beginning to think it's not if you get it, it's when!
Give me coffee to change the things I can and wine for those I can not!
