I can't go back to coding without copilot. I agree it's a real efficiency booster.

I can't go back to using it. I spent too much time reviewing the code it spit out and noticed when it absolutely wouldn't do what I needed it to, I was absolute slog since it was some else code.

There seem to be two different camps here: Copilot-users that use it largely for autocomplete and Cursor/Sonnet-users that use it for generating larger blocks of code. Personally I'm in the former camp; the efficiency gains are substantial and hallucinations are easy to control. Larger blocks are fine if one wants to sit down and review the whole thing, and also as a writer's-block-breaker.

It's the folks generating whole codebases with no ability to review or debug that are in deep Monkey's Paw territory.

Who cares? Solve problem, write test case, move on.

It's a huge efficency boon for those of us who realize our jobs are just mechanisms to make money. It sucks if you're into artisinal coding or whatever..

I try LLMs once a month with variations of the same question on a specific library that I use. It hallucinates all the time. I can't use those tools as long as they don't give me the answers I need.
