Paying for copilot :) at least in go it’s great to write tests and sometimes some smaller functions :) totally worth paying for it, even from your own pocket if the company wouldn’t allow expensing it

If the company wouldn't pay for it then better think twice because you could get in hot water with legal. That's not a tool one's job or even company's business is worth risking over.

Copilot has a ton of still unresolved legal and compliance issues (copyright violation problems, sending proprietary code to Microsoft as you are writing it, etc.) and most larger businesses won't touch it with a 10 foot pole for that reason. There is even a class action lawsuit against Microsoft over Copilot already.
