    I just used copilot for the first time. It made me a ton of call to action text and website page text for various service pages inwas creating for a home builder. It was surprisingly useful, of course I modified the output a bit but overall saved me a ton of time.

        Copilot is only dangerous in the hands of people who couldn’t program otherwise. I love it, it’s helped a ton on tedious tasks and really is like a pair programmer

          Yeah it’s perfect for if you can distinguish between good and bad generations. Sometimes it tries to run on an empty text file in vscode and it just outputs an ingredients list lol

      i get copilot through github education and let me tell you the first time i put out a bunch of code related to one of my entities, i was floored. it’s definitely not there to write your entire app but it saves so much time

      id argue it’s more work to get chatgpt to suggest a CTA of “Download now” or “Learn more” than it is to type it by hand.
