"Back in June 2022, we reported that GitHub Copilot was already generating 27% of developers’ code. Today, we’re seeing this happen more and more with an average of 46% of code being built using GitHub Copilot across all programming languages, and 61% among developers using Java."
... the jokes write themselves, too.

@mtomczak copilot is fantastic 🤷🏻♂️ can’t imagine not using every tool at my disposal 🤷🏻♂️
@tonic oh me too. I'm taking the piss out of Java for being a language where the nugget of what you actually want to do is wrapped in a thick candy shell of the boilerplate crap you have to write to make the ecosystem happy. As in "of course you can get a machine to write that! A machine should have been writing it the whole damn time!" ;)
(Java is one of those languages I'm perfectly happy to use with a competent IDE in the loop to do all the drudgery for me of renaming and type-changing variables, making , package declarations match with the package path, caring for and feeding the brood of young imports that have made a nest in the top of every one of my files, making file names match the class name since the language demands it, etc etc).
