I have been using Cody (sourcegraph.com/cody) for about 6 months now and it's completely changed the way I write code. But, there was an adjustment period to learn how to work with the tool. Expecting a code copilot to just give you working code 100% of the time is unrealistic today, we may get there eventually though.
I've been writing code for close to 20 years now across the full stack, I have written a lot of bad code in my life, I have seen frameworks come and go, so spotting bad code or spotting bad practices is almost second nature to me. With that said, using Cody, I'm able to ship much faster. It will sometimes return bad answers, i may need to tweak my question, and sometimes it just doesn't capture the right context for what I'm trying to do, but overall it's been a great help and I'd say has made me 35-40% more efficient.
