Don’t copilot anything longer than a function of about 15 lines. That way you can quickly see if it made mistakes. Ensure it works, move on to the next.
And only do that for boring, repetitive work. The tough challenges and critical parts you’re (for now) better off solving yourself.
It’s to speed up boilerplate and save you having to look up function names or language specific syntax for that one feature you want to use, not to entirely do your job for you

Absolutely, I think the people who say it’s completely useless for code are in denial
Definitely not replacing anyone but my god it has sped up development by generating code I already know how to write 90% of
No more having to look up “what was the for loop syntax in this language again?”
“Copilot is really good in things which I already know” and that is perfectly fine
Exactly.
