  How has your experience with it been? When I tried it a few months ago, it was a cool novelty, but over time I found that it helped me with the simplest use cases, but often messed up in subtle ways for more complex code -- i.e., it would produce code that looked right and worked, but had really subtle bugs. Not sure if I was using it wrong, or if it's getting better... definitely has promise, but is it ready for production use yet?

    I tend to avoid writing complex code in production for various reasons. Of course if I ask copilot to write an new complex algorithm using my unique data structures in one try, it will not generate perfect code. But usually I try to go slowly line by line in these cases. Copilot shines to write the boring easy code and help you line by line, but it’s not there yet for advanced unassisted programming.
