> I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best this is good enough sell for me, and it's like sub 1-in-50 that it's "auto-complete on mushrooms" (again my experience, YMMV). An awful lot of the time, my day to day work involves writing one piece of code and then copy-pasting it changing a few variable names. Even if I factor out the code into a method, I've still got to call that method with the different names. CoPilot takes care of that drudgery and saves me countless minutes per day. It therefore pays for itself. I also use ChatGPT every time I need some BASH script written to automate a boring process. I could spend 20-30 minutes searching for all the commands and arguments I would need, another 10 minutes typing in the script, another 10-20 minutes debugging my inevitable mistakes. Or I make sure to describe my requirements exactly (5-10 minutes), spend 5 minutes reviewing the output, iterate if necessary (usually because I wasn't clear enough in the instructions). 3-5x speed up for free. Who's not going to take that win?
