I just got on the yearly Plan. Just couple of days before I just wanted to share how happy I have been using Copilot. It is definitely a productivity tool in your box.

I cannot share the code here, but to explain in simple terms I was able to write around 100 lines of code in say 10 seconds. I had a switch statement, around 7 variables with around 5 if conditions inside each case. I retrieve data from end point. Do JSON serialization. Convert JSON to a data class. Use the data . Loop over the data and then work with the elements.

Copilot, understood the first two conditions of what I was doing and just completed the rest for me. Replaced it with right variables, type annotations, etc.

I would definitely recommend this to any one at this price point. Sure, I was so happy using it for free since the launch of the product and did not expect it to be coming so soon out of waitlist. But it is ok to pay for it.

I use it on both VSCode and Neovim and it works beautifully with both editors.

PS: I was early adopter of TabNine too, have used it for quite some time, however Copilot would be my preference.
