My rule using copilot is to use it as a fancy typing assistant which will frequently make mistakes - so you need to read everything it writes for you, and have solid test coverage too in order to avoid accidentally accepting a dumb mistake.

This made it useless for me because writing code is easier and faster than reviewing someone else’s code. And less error prone.

And much more enjoyable. I haven’t tried Copilot yet, but the process of letting it generate something and then checking it for accuracy sounds mind-numbing and stressful. Kind of like supervising a car that’s on assisted cruise: I don’t enjoy that either.
