Nonsense. I've been using it to write tests, and it does a phenomenal job. If I write out the positive case, it will suggest the negative case and help me through the various permutations. This has by-far been the most useful part of co-pilot so far.

It's nothing I couldn't do myself, but just makes my job that much easier and quicker

What does that even mean? It's like saying, "I would hate working on a codebase where autocomplete would help me". It's such a general statement.

It's quite hilarious to see both the wide-eyed futurists and unabashed Luddites in this thread.

Unnecessary hate. I used it a while ago while writing some complex aggregation and grouping of data. It was pretty painful to write until I tried with Copilot and the result is both accurate and easy to read. I wrote unit tests and it's been fine ever since. This is but one example of the value of it.

I am sure some of the typical cynicism here will turn this into a protracted argument of "well maybe you shouldn't be a shit developer and you would be able to fit all the complexity in your head" but whatever.

Yes this is the the whole point of this

Unfortunately, there is no way I can hope for that much…

So yes, please, take my money and do All my boilerplate lol

You must only work with languages that you just invented.
