I'm in that middle-state where I program daily for work and hobby, but in earnest I only started about 1.5 years ago. I can make a lot run, mostly API work, data transformation.

I joined the Copilot beta and where it has helped me most is: 1) Ideas 2) Filling in the broad-strokes.

It's name does not deceive, it is only a co-pilot. It will not tell you where to go, it will push you in the right direction and let you focus on the more difficult parts of a task.

I signed up for it because at $10 per month the keystroke reduction is somewhere in ballpark of 70% or more. That's the real value in my use-case.
