    Yeah copilot has gotten to a point where entire defect fix pull requests can be neatly and concisely created and don’t need humans to polish it up half the time. Refactors about a third of the time and new features about a tenth of the time. This is with TDD/tests first. Even when it doesn’t one-shot the entire work, it saves considerable time and increases productivity which is something that only a few months ago was a marketing dream.

    In software it helps far more than it hinders now if you pick the right model for the job. At work, the bottleneck is starting to become reviews rather than the implementation of work.
