Copilot is just another junior teammate. You need to peer review the heck out of that code

But it is junior in all the fields, so to me it’s pretty useful. I’m not even junior in most stuff.
If you aren’t even at a junior level yourself, how can you possibly vet the code that it produces?
A lot of software development seems to take a "if it's runny, it's money" approach where it doesn't matter as long as it works long enough to reach a liquidity event or enough funding to hire someone to review code.
It’s like a faster web search and I can get leads in the right direction. I am learning faster with this tool.
