Side note: I recently suffered from a tennis elbow due to sub optimal desktop setup when working from home. Copilot has drastically reduced my keystrokes, and therefore the strain on my tenders.

It's good for our health, too!

I watched the same thing happen with the introduction of Intellisense. Pre-Intellisense I had tons of RSI problems and had to use funky ergonomic keyboards like the Kinesis keyboard to function as a dev. Now I just hop on whatever laptop is in front of me and code. Same reason - massive reduction in the number of keys I have to touch to produce a line of code.
