In the article they proudly report that less experienced devs are "getting much better productivity gains" (by accepting more copilot suggestions).
As a natural-born cynic, I instead would say that maybe: "less experienced devs lack the experience to know why some copilot suggestions have unintended consequences / are a bad design choice".
They are also probably being posed significantly easier challenges as well. I would say I'm not necessarily faster than a junior developer, I just spend my time wrestling with harder questions.
What, your company doesn't throw the hardest jobs at the newest devs to give them a proper trial by fire? Smh 😂
