- PaulHoule 2y agoFor me Copilot is at the plateau of productivity. When I'm trying to figure out how to test for certain things with Mockito it gives me working examples faster than I'd figure out if it was me and my lonesome with the manual. If I don't know why something works it often gives a correct answer. It does take some critical thinking to use it successfully, but the same is true for StackOverflow. I've also gotten good advice on subjects such as voice acting. Trying to knock out quick prototypes with other code assistants I'd say I have a 50% success rate. For some circumscribed tasks I've had good luck with existing code bases but if the problem is something like "figure out how somebody managed to download a file they shouldn't have downloaded and make sure it never happens again" you'd be a fool to even try using one.
