I feel Copilot indispensable - with the constant emergence of frameworks, languages I need to keep learning, it really shortens the time it takes to get productive in an unfamiliar environment.
I don't see the contradiction - if someone who started programming in the pre-Internet days in a text editor, then switched to an IDE with autocomplete and searchable docs, would it be hyperbole for him to say that he finds these tools indispensable?
