Copilots positioned to optimise what i call "Google developer" flow. These are commadonity devs every workplace has who dont really know how to code, but rather know how to ask google questions to get the code they can slap together to meet a AC.

On the other side you have devs who have AI in their head. They often use tools to optimise their flow. Ive always used resharper as a developer and think autocomplete is certainly a developer efficiency improver. 99% of the suggestions resharper makes, i checkin. Thats why i use it, it has less fuzz because it doesnt try to be everything.

Pressing alt+tab and scrolling through some search results isnt something that adds overhead to my flow - after 30yrs im pretty good filtering content.

I do alot of PoCs though, so if i wanted to write in a language i didnt understand, i think copilot can improve my flow somewhat to get me to serach terms that will benifit me quicker.

Overall im still a few years away from relying on AI to help me code. Its going to be great for retirement though, if i had a family and kids it would allow me to checkout of self-paced learning while still maintaining my edge.
