For me, Copilot is a tool to keep in the flow. It handles the plumbing while I can keep my focus entirely on the larger flow.
No longer get pulled out of the flow because I have to look up the difference between, say, unwrap_or and map_or (rust), or how to map/reduce over a NodeList (TS, Js) or how to open a file only if it exists (python). I don't care, at this point, how it is done, I just want a "if_file_exists_open_it" or I just want to sum the numbers in the subtotal column of that HTML table. Or I just want to provide a default "free" string when shipping.cost is None etc.
For me, flow isn't writing these very language specific algorithms, it's cruising along on a stable altitude.
- ulizzle 3y agoThat sounds right to me. I actually think I enjoy coding more now than in the past, writing function names and letting the IDE write the code itself.
