It’s interesting to see the mix of local identifiers and public code that copilot is able to generate. In the end I disabled it because I had to keep stopping to check its suggestions, really breaking the programming flow. But I imagine with some content and UI improvements it will be invaluable in the future.

I've tried it with Go and it's impressive. However, as you said, having to check generated code is tedious. I feel like I can trust Copilot's code less than what a colleague would produce. So then my coding sessions become code review sessions. I don't want most of my coding to be like that.

Yes, I find it quite fun as long as I can turn it on and off with a single keypress. Then you can have it mostly off, and consult it only when you want to.
