I have the same experience. I'm in gamesdev and we've been encouraged to test out LLM tooling. Most of us at/above the senior level report the same experience: it sucks, it doesn't grasp the broader context of the system

I used the Copilot trial. I found myself waiting to see what it would come up with, analyzing it, and most often time throwing it away for my own implementation. I quickly realized how much of a waste of time it was. I did find use for it i
