Its very useful for certain types of tasks that are inherently repetitive. It will construct debug strings very easily, for example
e.g. type `pr` in a function with x & t
and it may predict...
The `print(f"The value of 'x' was {x} at time {t:0.00}s")`
Writing code is easy. Architecture, refactoring, and solving business problems are the hard parts of the job.
Writing new code is also generally the most rewarding aspect of the job. Co-pilot promises to turn that into just another unrewarding chore, like slinging 3rd party libraries together.
