Calling fellow commenters stupid or ignorant isn’t right. Please reconsider.

I was against copilot until I tried it.

It’s not always on target, but it’s usually pretty close and the suggestions are good.

No, it doesn’t write all of the code for me. But it does rapidly construct even quite complicated if/else statements that I was going to write anyways, just from knowing where I’m typing. Quite a great tool.

I was just revisiting an api call which it turns out needed pagination. I put a note in the docstring before I began and copilot just... rewrote the function to include pagination. Except for a couple of corrections to the json returned by the api (copilot could only guess), it just worked! I'm amazing by copilot and it frequently writes chunks of my code, especially shell scripts and docker files. A little worried that my job might be on the way out at some point!
