I've had Copilot enabled since early beta. I think it has saved me ... 15 minutes of typing in total? A few times it has caught on to a repeating pattern and filled a tedious bit of [({}{})] -style javascript correctly.

Most of the things it does for me I could replace with a library of snippets if I could be bothered to set one up.

Not really worth a monthly cost equivalent to, say, Disney+ - which I use tens of hours every month just by myself.

If my employer paid for it, I wouldn't scoff at it, but I'm not paying a cent of my own money for it.

You probably write code in a way that’s hard for the AI to predict. Write stubs, name things first, wire things early, and watch the fireworks.
