I used to use it mainly to write unit tests, which is a nice use case because it’s obvious if it gets it wrong. (The test fails.)

One time I had to use the Go protobuff reflection API, and Copilot was actual crucial because the docs are so bad.

Can’t use it in my current role and I feel less productive.

This seems to me like the perfect use case, I’ll have to try using it for unit tests. Are you ever concerned when the AI-written unit test passes that it might be passing incorrectly? Either for the wrong reason, or when it should fail?
