I think another risk with getting Copilot to start out, is that it might nudge you into a direction you wouldn't have gone into otherwise.

Whether that is better or not, I suppose, it depends.

I'm working on a HTML Tokenizer in Deno/Typescript.

Copilot only helps with boilerplate code which could be handled by good intellisense.

When it tries to generate a function from the function name it fails so hard that it is more in your way then helpful.
