I had a mid-level submit a PR implementing caching. I had to reject it multiple times. They were using Copilot and it couldn't implement it right and the developer couldn't understand it. Stuff like always retrieving from the API instead of the cache, or never storing the object in the cache after retrieving it.
They promoted that guy over me because he started closing more stories than me and faster after he started using Copilot. No wonder that team has 40% of its capacity used for rework and tech debt...
