I use CodeWhisperer instead of Copilot, but sometimes it gets disconnected and it takes me days to realize "Oh I don't have this nice autocomplete anymore". I

  How do you think about using it? Because for me with Copilot, I think I can usually predict with 95% accuracy what it's going to output for me so I know that if I write "fun" (beginning of a function) in this context, it will immediately know based on all the context around it what will generate for me and that is what I'm looking for. So my whole development is around it, that I can predict what it's going to complete, it just does it much faster with many lines at once, without the typos , index + 1 errors and other minor bugs I might do myself. E.g. simple example, while usually things are more complicated, if I want a leftPad function, I would just write "function lef"... And mostly it is already able to know. While previously maybe I should've figured whether I should use an npm library where historically something went really wrong, etc. I'll just keep those helper fns in the codebase now. But that's only a small example, it's able to handle non generic helper fns quite well too. Like my muscle memory and expectations are around what Copilot can do or what I expect it to be able to do.
