GitHub Copilot Promotion Twist

My total comp for creating GitHub Copilot, from inception to GA: +20k bonus and a title bump. Join a startup. Oh I forgot: The VP who worked most against Copilot’s creation, would later tell me I didn’t deserve the promo. That person is now in charge of GitHub Copilot.

A Twitter thread shows Alex Gravelly describing the modest compensation he received for creating GitHub Copilot. He then adds that the executive who opposed Copilot later denied him a promotion and is now in charge of the product, creating an ironic workplace punchline about credit, power, and corporate hypocrisy.
