It's been fascinating reading all the responses to Copilot. It's pretty clear to me now that developer habits are far more diverse than I thought.
For me, Copilot seems like it will be useful in the exact same way that StackOverflow is useful, as a means to pointing me in the right direction for code snippets or apis or techniques that I haven't and don't really want to memorize.
For example, on my current side project I wanted to know how to create a "unique enough" UUID in pure JS.
Copilot would hopefully save me a couple of google/stackoverflow searches as I can very quickly test what it suggests.
I already rarely ever take SO answers as gospel so it's unlikely that I'd do the same with Copilot but I think it significantly increases the speed with which I achieve the same results.
