I remember showing off Resharper to a friend in high school and something about how quickly I was writing code made him say "oh so it writes the code for you?" He wasn't asking in an accusatory way: most people in the class were learning to code for the first time, and something about how quickly code was appearing and the screen was jumping around and new functions were appearing made him think it really was capable of writing the code for me. It comes back to me any time I see these discussions about if AI copilots are still coding. In fact, sometimes I think it's a wash in my productivity having to downgrade from Webstorm to VS Code to use Cursor.
