Transcripts
if you use co-pilot or something similar
I won't hire you that's a tweet I made
yesterday and it's causing the Tech
Community by storm I don't know what's
going on people are so emotional um the
question rather it is do I is do I mean
this tweet or not is this a troll uh
what the hell is going on and why I
actually posted that but before we
continue with this video guys listen I
said it before I promised my grandma to
have 100K subscribers by the end of the
year and my grandma has not long to live
anymore so please don't let Grandma down
make her proud right join the community
uh the links Discord Community the links
are all in the description so let me
know guys what you think about this
tweet uh what you think about this
statement of course first check out the
video so you know the context about what
I actually are trying to say with that
let leave them in the comments I'm uh
very curious to see what you guys think
about that all right so let's continue
so basically if you use co-pilot or
something similar I won't hire you do I
mean this tweet uh of course not right
uh I
think in in the engineering world people
people are free to use whatever they
want right uh that's what it is of
course do I like co-pilot of course not
I think it's BS uh but that's that's
everybody that's everybody's own opinion
so why did I make this tweet guys and
I'm going to explain why I think
co-pilot is BS so the prim agent Mr
Prime himself made this tweet also
yesterday I guess uh I am one week
without co-pilot I'm really happy I
don't use it anymore it's honestly a
relief and it's hard to describe
describe why right I saw this tweet and
I said man actually this is so true um
I'm happy that he basically experienced
that because he's using copilot for a
while now and I just made this
tweet without thinking and like maybe
some kind of a troll a troll tweet and
everybody is basically uh emotionally
hurt you know what I mean people did not
sleep yesterday unfortunately so the
thing
is that what worries me the most what I
learned by all these comments here uh is
that a lot of people are so emotionally
attached to their AI tools and am I
going to hire somebody that's basically
have copilot active of course right why
why wouldn't I everybody does what he
wants uh but am I going to hire people
that are so emotionally attached you you
check the comments out it's wild man
people are basically it's like an a
complete new uh Rel belief system uh
that is being invented uh it's crazy and
it's going to basically block your
career right um so why do I think
co-pilot is actually um not that great
first of all I use AI tools all the time
right I even made startups with AI uh I
built it in three weeks without co-pilot
and it's making more money already than
you basically earn in a month but that's
something else without co-pilot because
people say they are way faster than me
and people are I don't know people are
crazy man these comments it's it's
insane I use chat GPT every day right
and how do I use it um I think I use
chat GPT as a better as a Google search
on steroids right uh most of the time I
already know chat GPT is going to
basically give me or not the
code that I want but it's going to guide
me in a certain direction it's going to
guide me some packages I need to import
it's going to guide me it's going to
help me uh fill in the blank spaces in
my brain whenever I want to right the
problem with co-pilot is that co-pilot
is basically vomiting codes in your
editor all the time and is it
going to help you with writing boilers
plate yes it's it it will it will right
it's going to write boilers plate and
it's going to do that very well the
problem
is productivity in engineering depends
on on your company because a lot of I
call them PR monkeys right A lot of
people are uh in some kind of a big
company and the only thing you need to
do is these simple tasks bum bum bum bum
from 9 to 5 the all these simple task
and go pilot can probably help you with
that of course uh we need these people
also right uh but the thing is
that you can see that in my streams if I
code if I if I do live
coding I like to write this border plate
code because the moment you write boiler
plate
code you can basically do that on an
automated pilot not co-pilot but like on
an automatic pilot like a muscle memory
and in the time that I'm w writing that
code in the time that I'm writing this
boiler plate code I'm already thinking a
step ahead on the problem right and you
can see that in my live stream most of
the time I'm writing that code and
suddenly oh guys wait I have a I have a
better idea and I basically delete my
code and write it again so it writing
this boiler plate code gives me gives my
brain the time to think about the
problem to time to think on what what
what code is coming next what's coming
next what's the next pattern what's the
next what's the next step to do here to
come to my solution and it sometimes it
Alters the code that I'm actually going
to write sometimes it Alters the Border
plate I need to write and if you have
something like co-pilot it's going to
Boom instantly paste vomit code on your
um on your on your on your
screen but you don't have time to think
about what's next and you're basically
are so used to getting these things
printed
in I don't know it doesn't work for me
it doesn't work for me and I would love
to and I have these Engineers on my team
and if you don't know why I have this
company laue it's it's it's a big
company uh in Belgium actually in Europe
to be honest um 8 million of funding
written in goine Temple all that stuff
check it out it's it's wide open we did
three Acquisitions already so um I'm
trying to hire Engineers that are kind
of like-minded of course not everybody
has the same but I want people that can
think because productivity in
engineering does not come from how fast
can I write boilerplate
code productivity comes from how fast
can I creatively innovate new solutions
for the problems I am that I'm occurring
right that are occurring that I need to
solve because we at laue we have so much
we are basically innovating the whole
Tech scene about the finance the fintech
the the recurring Revenue funding of
course there are a lot of companies
right now but we were basically four
years ago we were one of the first so we
need to do a lot of innovating thinking
outside of the box with how we going to
we're going to do these things
and boiler plate is not going to help us
right co-pilot cannot innovate I already
told this before in other videos like AI
is good AI is great and I think
everybody should use it I'm using it all
the time but we cannot you we cannot
block our own create creative
thinking our own Innovative Thinking by
these tools and that's what happening
right that's what that's what starts to
happen and these AIS they they they
cannot innovate but maybe they can in in
10 years I don't know what's
going on we need to whatever happens at
the moment we we we need to adjust right
that's life we need to adjust on new
technologies every every time and every
day but they at this moment of time they
cannot innovate right they can only
replicate so
productivity does not come from writing
boiler plate productivity comes from how
fast can an engineer come up with
Creative Solutions Innovative thinking
outside of the box solutions for the
problem right and most of the time it's
not going to be a complete product at
levenue we we do a lot of trial and
errors right we come up at some quick
and dirty uh proof of concept uh that's
nobody that's never been done before and
we're going to test that is that working
is that not working how does it feel how
does it go what do we think about that
uh that's that's what I'm trying to say
with this uh co-pilot tweet but I'm not
a big fan I think coding is like
painting like Bob Ross The Joy of
Painting it's going to be the joy of
programming I think um having somebody
paint stuff into your canvas is going to
block your creativity it's going to uh
basically impact the result right maybe
maybe your trees maybe your Forest maybe
your landscape is going to be painted
way
faster but maybe it's not exactly the
landscape you had in mind you know what
I mean maybe it's going to block your
further
creative shapes you want to put into it
you know what I mean it's really hard to
explain it's also probably really hard
to understand for new people coming into
coding people that are just like two
three four years in um it's because
you're already used to all this
technology but engineering is not
writing code right engineering is not
neovim engineering is not vs code
engineering is not your language
python Ruby whatever engineering is
solving a problem man solving a problem
bringing value through technology uh to
an end user or or or something like that
right and that's what people tend to
forget and that's basically what I
trying to teach what I'm trying to
preach um in my videos and in in my
community and in my presence online and
sometimes it hurts some feelings but
guys do not always take everything what
I say for granted right also a little
bit of a troll but sometimes you need to
do that um to get people's attention
right from time to time and you don't
need to believe me um like I said you're
free you're free to use whatever you
want that's good for me I will still
hire you but um that's basically what I
mean by that right um don't be too
emotionally attached to these AI tools
they will they are here to help us they
are here to um comp how do you say that
to complement us um but they will never
be here to replace us because there's
always needs to be some Innovation there
always needs to be some creative
Innovation and that's what I where I see
AI lacking for a very very long time um
so if you want to still be how you say
that if you still want to be if you want
to still have some meaning in your
career try to shift a little bit away uh
of course you can use it but try to
shift a little bit away emotionally from
these tools and try to focus a little
bit more on creative
engineering right in the in the in the
bigger scope um than only languages
editors and tools right uh so that's
what is for the people that I heard with
this tweet I'm not sorry uh because hey
sometimes you need to be heard to change
right I mean that happens with me all
the
time that's what I want to say guys I
hope you had something about this video
this is coming from somebody with a lot
of experience with a lot of failures but
also a lot of successes right so
whatever you do with this that up to you
and whatever happens
still we are still going to be uh we're
still going to be friends and like I
said before don't let Grandma down
subscribe to the channel so I can reach
these 100K and my Grandma will be proud
before she pass
away thanks for watching this video and
I'm looking forward to see you in one of
my next live streams or videos bye-bye
