This does not match my experience… Copilot produces code that I would be fine with coming from a junior, but I’ve never seen it do something more than one or two lines that doesn’t have serious issues or bad practices.
Copilot seems to have vacuumed up all the “quick hack to make this work” code from blogspam and bootcamp-final-project type open source repos, but I’m in an area absolutely flooded with that kind of code (typescript/react) so maybe it’s better with other kinds of code. Typescript/react is so bad now that google searches often return blog posts full of confidence and issues.
A few times it’s generated bugs that I couldn’t even catch by reading but it blows up spectacularly when scaled up even a little bit.
