Just to give you my two cents, for me it improves productivity massively because, while suggestions for actual code are very hit and miss, it is able to get me 90% of the way there writing tests with just the name of the test and context as prompts. This might not be that big a percentage of my actual work, but in terms of motivation it enables me to work using TDD without the friction of writing boilerplate, which in turn makes programming much more fun. Also, and this is a big one, you can directly ask questions and it replies. I find that fascinating. This morning I asked him “why didn’t you test for [specific thing]?” And it replied “because I don’t know how to properly mock [name of a library I was using]”. Yesterday, while bored in a meeting, I asked copilot whether a coworker’s proposal for an OKR was good and it replied “it’s ok, but keep in mind that it’s a lagging metric”. It’s scary. |
