I think jim kind of implicitly assume that whenever someone writes code by himself, he would be forced to have good habits for security etc.,
This part I think is not quite right. The counterfactual jim gives for Copilot isn’t manual programming, it’s StackOverflow. The argument is then: right now StackOverflow has better methods for promoting secure code than Copilot does, so Copilot will make the security situation worse insofar as it displaces SO.
