I find the comments Copilot proposes is better than average comment quality for the code base I routinely work on: maybe you are so great you don't need any help ever, but that's not true for the average software dev.
Maybe the average is just so bad? The completions I get for comments are document what the code is doing, which is not something that I ever put into comments. It's always:
a) A highlevel (prefixed to the function/block/scope definition) list of steps, input expectations and output expectations for the forthcoming function/block/scope
Or
b) A note explaining why the code does what it does.
A comment repeating the code but in English is useless.
Whatever bad thing you think of this part is probably true, but I can’t do better.
Beware, weird optimization ahead.
Editing this code requires arcane knowledge.Copilot just likes to puke very useless comments whenever I type "//", especially in autocomplete mode (I don't really use the chat mode).
