when designing, thinking, abstracting, we are actually not writing any code. I sometimes use a whiteboard for example, of course CoPilot cannot help. Once we have your designed, thought-through implementation in your head, while you are typing in an editor, CoPilot definitely can help you write code faster (or slower if the output is not exactly what you have in your mind). I see it is a productive positive product.

The actual act of writing code "faster" baffles me. Without tools like intellisense, etc.[0], I am perfectly able to write code as fast as I can type. There's absolutely zero need for me to write faster. [0]Intellisense, etc. tend to get in my way, so I turn it off.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoIntellisense is a godsend when you are working in a large code base using proprietary API with varying level of documentation. It's very good at filling in the full name of that pesky class or giving you a quick list of functions in that package for you to pick the one you want.
