This aligns with my observations. I don't use Copilot etc. but the other devs on my small team do. I've observed that I'm generally a faster and more confident type and coder - not knocking their skills, I'm just more experienced, and also spent my teens reading and writing a lot.
I've seen that it helps them in cases where they're less certain what they're doing, but also when they know what they're doing and it's quicker about it.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoFor me I know what I want to write and it seems that Copilot also knows what I want to write, so as an auto complete it just works out for me. Most of the time code I want to write is in my head, I just need to be able to quickly vomit it out and typing speed is the bottleneck. I am also able to intuitively predict that it is going to vomit out exactly what I want. E.g. I know ahead of time what the 10 lines it will give me are.
