    Copilot is pretty amazing for day to day coding, although I wonder if a junior dev might get led astray with some of its bad ideas, or too dependent on it in general.

    Edit: shit, maybe I’m too dependent on it.

      I’m also having a good time with copilot

      Considering asking my company to pay for the subscription as I can justify that it’s worth it.

      Yes many times it is wrong but even if it it’s only 80% correct at least I get a suggestion on how to solve an issue. Many times it suggest a function and the code snippet has something missing but I can easily fix it or improve it. Without I would probably not know about that function at all.

      I also want to start using it for documentation and unit tests. I think there it’s where it will really be useful.

      Btw if you aren’t in the chat beta I really recommend it
