Yeah these Copilot type tools shouldn’t help much if a language is well-designed, or a project is structured in a fashion that doesn’t require a ton of boilerplate. If we’re doing things well, we’ll only have to tell the computer something once, right?

If it is possible to guess what we’re going to write, then we aren’t transmitting much information to the computer.

Copilot seems to be very popular though.
