(Software dev for 15+ years)
I'm using it for Typescript + NodeJS development. I find Copilot most valuable when it's something I'd need to Google anyway, like how to format a date string or how to do X in selenium. 8 out of 10 times the answer is right, and the other times it is at least interesting (gives me an idea of what to look for).
This quick feedback is _way_ faster than googling and keeps me in the IDE, and also just makes it more enjoyable to code when there is this "pair programming" partner that I can interact with via code/comments and it will generate ideas for me, even if they aren't all perfect.
