> Most of the time Copilot doesn't really understand what I'm doing or isn't useful because I'm doing exploratory programming. For the trivial stuff, I've found that it's easier to write it myself because then I don't have to correct what an AI is thinking so it fits into the project or compiles.

> I'm a big fan of Copilot.

Wow, big whiplash reading that. Your review makes it sound useless and obtrusive. Are you a masochist, or does it have some redeeming qualities you neglected to mention?




I'm bullish on it and AI-assisted programming in general.

One can find something imperfect yet simultaneously believe strongly in it.


I guess I won't yuck your yum, then, but I can't help but ask... are you also like this about Tesla's FSD?


Nope. I think they were arrogant and stubborn to remove radar sensors from their vehicles.


It's still early stage. I've saved a lot of keystrokes using Tabnine, which is like single-line Copilot, so I'm pretty optimistic about Copilot in the long term.
