The only "programming logic issue" for a fully fledged out feature such as ads in the product is someone didn't check their feature flags were off/on.

Beyond that it just sounds like Enshittification Part 1: boiling the frog.

How is this possible if they are using AI to write, test, and review the code? Isn't AI supposed to make a single seasoned developer 1000x more efficient and produce better code? "Programming logic issues" are a thing of the past aren't they?

To repost a comment from the Hacker News account timrogers:

Tim from the Copilot coding agent team here. We've now disabled these tips in pull requests created by or touched by Copilot, so you won't see this happen again for future PRs.

We've been including product tips in PRs created by Copilot coding agent. The goal was to help developers learn new ways to use the agent in their workflow. But hearing the feedback here, and on reflection, this was the wrong judgement call. We won't do something like this again.

was the faulty programming logic in the brain of MBAs?
