As with most things in life, moderation is key.
I find co-pilot primarily useful as an auto-complete tool to save keystrokes when writing predictable context driven code.
Writing an enum class in one window? Co-pilot can use that context to auto complete usage in other windows. Writing a unit test suite? Co-pilot can scaffold your next test case for you with a simple tab keystroke.
Especially in the case of dynamic languages, co-pilot nicely compliments your intellisense
- thehours 3y agoMy experience is similar. This week I created a few DBT models and Co-Pilot saved a *ton* of keystrokes on the YML portion. It needed some hand-holding in the early parts, but it was so satisfying to tab autocomplete entire blocks of descriptions and tests once it picked up context with my preferences.
- choilive 3y agoYep, treat copilot like a really good autocomplete system and its wonderful. Saves a lot of time and typing even in languages that aren't known for having a lot of boilerplate. Treat copilot to solve actual problems (y'know, the kind of stuff you are presumably paid to solve), and it falls completely flat.
