I very often will let it suggest its thing and then tweak it to work how I want. It's like super auto-complete for me. If I can't remember how a specific pattern goes for some library, I'll let it write it for me, and then double check it to make sure it's doing what I want. That's still faster than me going to check the API and writing it all out by hand.

Most projects are 90% BS glue code and 10% actually interesting code. I don't mind only having help with the 90%.

I used copilot yesterday because I wanted a random 10 character long string and was like. Ahh I don’t have the brain power right now to think of this. And remembered I had copilot. So I enabled it. Wrote a comment. And it generated ~10 lines that solved my problem. Tweaked a little bit and rolled with it.

It helps solve the boring simple shit so I can focus on the interesting bit.

Yea, that makes sense, I agree with that. If your use case is skewed more towards "BS glue code" as you say, you'll find more use out Copilot. Then $10/month can be fair, cheap even.

This seems pretty reasonable to me / resonates w/ how I might use it.
