By experience though it’s best to go line by line rather than accepting whole function autcompletes.
For me, I found incredibly useful for generating test cases. It will type out test functions for various conditions, stuff that is normal really tedious to code.
Sometimes is eerie, how how well it knows exactly what next line should be. Countless times it filled in an important detail that I hadn’t thought of.
It’s not perfect at all, sometimes it goes off on tangents or writes incorrect code.
I don’t think you even have to pay for copilot. At least it’s free for me.
Are there any compelling reasons to switch apart from the difference in syntax?
We need external people who follow @me@myserver.example.com seamlessly still follow at the new server, which has a different code an URL structure. Will it "just work"?
