This reminds me of a startup pitch where it’s always “oh we take care of x so you don’t have to,” but the problem is now I just have another thing to take care of. I cannot speak for people who use Copilot “fluently,” but I know for every chunk of code it spat out I would need to read every line and make sure “Is this right? Is the return type what I want? Will this loop terminate? Is ‘scan’ the right API? Is that string formatted properly? Can I optimize this?” etc. To me it’s hardly “solving the easy parts,” but rather putting the passenger’s hands on the wheel.

Upvoted. I think the only good use case for this is spitting out 10-line, annoying, commonly used API boilerplate for commonly used APIs

That is a valid use case despite being small and incremental. I think it will still be helpful to some people.

The easy part is the copy-paste-from-SO part ;)
