I’m not understanding the CoPilot hate. It’s an amazing tool if you are competent. Even when it gets it wrong it still saves me 90%+ of the typing then I just correct what it did differently than how I want it.
Boilerplate becomes a breeze and I work way better when I have something to iterate on rather than coming up with it from scratch. It lets me play with and test ideas way faster and sometimes even does it differently than I’d do it which leads to learning new things and/or looking at the problem in a different way. I don’t blindly follow its output, sometimes I reject it wholesale, sometimes I edit it, sometimes it’s literally exactly what I would have typed myself.
