I don’t use ChatGPT or chat AI for coding, at least not often. It does help me get unstuck on occasion, but most of the time the context switch is too much of a productivity sink. However, I use copilot autocomplete consistently. That makes me much more productive. It’s just really good autocomplete. As an experienced developer I’d put my productivity improvement at 2-3x. It’s huge but not 10x. I’m limited by my decision speed, I need to decide what I want the code to do, AI can’t help with that - it can only do the “how”. Far from introducing more bugs, using Copilot frees some mental cycles for me to be more aware of the code I’m writing.
